  1. Make sure NumLock is on
  2. Highlight the Icon you want to change
  3. Right-Mouse click and select Rename
  4. While holding down the Alt key, type 0160 from the Numeric Keypad
  5. Now the icon will have no name below it.

Taking Screen Shots of the Desktop

If you need to get a screen shot, and you do not have a screen capture program, try this:

  • Hit the Print Screen key. This copies a bitmap of the full screen into the Windows clipboard. Start up a graphics editor and paste it in.
  • Alt + Print Screen will capture only the active window.
