I decided to try this tweak out:

and I'm not sure how to reverse it >_<

 

 

 

If you use this tip to rename a folder, you will not be able to rename the folder back using the right-click rename. Im not sure why this is. What youll have to do is open a command prompt and change directory into the containing folder (For instance, the desktop folder), and run this command:

 

 

 

ren Alt+255 NewFolderName

 

 

 

That's the instruction I don't understand, could someone do a step-by-step thing for me please? >_<

Have you tried clicking the icon then pressing F2?

 

It does the same as the right click re-name.

 

 

 

For the dos command you need to do the following;

 

 

 

Start -> Search

 

[type] cmd [hit enter]

[type] ren [space]

 

Now drag on drop the icon in question into the black window

 

[space]new name [type].lnk[hit enter]

 

Note if your using a space in the new name ie Internet Explorer you need to have speech marks around the name and the .lnk. eg "Internet Explorer.lnk"

I tried the F2 thing, doesn't work.

 

 

 

It won't let me drag the folder on, so I just tried typing "Alt+255"

 

 

 

Ok what exactly have you done this with?

Set the directory to your desktop. You won't be able to rename it with just a file extension though. I think the trick is to though some odd character in there. I think the most logical way to do this is to jsut change them in registry.

 

 

 

cd desktop

Ahhh, thank you sloter XD

 

My sister kept going "psh you'll never fix it".. but I have you!! And it worked, I just didn't know how to set the thing to directory.

 

 

 

Thanks sloter & JoeDaStudd!
