Zonk U very Much!
"Hi Tube
I renamed mine after an old girlfriend:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\CLSID
The Desktop Icons are located in the sub keys as follows:
My Network Places: {208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}
My Computer: {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
My Documents: {450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}
Recycle Bin:{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
Default IE Icon: {871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}
Double click the Default value in the above keys and enter the text you desire. Right click on the Desktop and select Refresh to see the changes.
To undo the changes, just right click on the Default value and select Delete. Refresh the Desktop to see that things are back to normal. "
That was it!
My desktop is a Hubble shot of a wicked 'nebula' and the 'trash' icon is a small planet. (it changes when full/empty) Nort will let you delete ALL values but the reg hack lets me set the default as a 'period' *.* which of course becomes lost in the grand scheme of things
Tube is happy
Thanx ALL!
