Desktop Icons without Text


Recommended Posts

For MY COMPUTER and MY NETWORK PLACES, how do I disable the FOLDER VIEW settings? Everytime I open them, it goes to FOLDER VIEW layout. And for the RECYCLE BIN, I can't drag an item into it anymore. Any fix for these problems?

EDIT:

I removed the tag "/e," from this line and it worked, no longer in folder view ;)

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-5000-0000-0000-000000000002}\Shell\Open\Command]@="explorer.exe /n, /e, ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"

Still no idea how to make the recycle bin drag and droppable though. :(

I am pretty sick at the moment (Sinusitis) and I don't spend much time behind my computer, but if you want them fast, read my previous posts and try to create them.

A few posts back I posted a link to a program that can help you. :))

If you don't have multiple user profiles on your computer, you can use the "Add Recycle Bin.reg" from the first post, you can drag & drop stuff in it. :D

so when I open this file and right click merge for each one.. the names will go away?

has anyone tried this out?

The reg files in the first post are the fixed ones,... the don't remove the name from My Computer ect but they create new nameless icons on your Desktop.

Just try it and if you don't like it just use the remove... reg files.

Thanks,.. and welcome to Neowin! :D

I searched the internet for "command line parameters" for the executables.

Alot of programs don't use command line paramete:(. :(

Sometimes you can use a program that uses them to launch another program (like the one I used with the Winamp Icon).

Herby . . . great work ...

nothing more to say ....? :D

I'm still sick but I'm well enough to work on some of the requests... :)

When you want one without an enhanced context menu (most of the programs don't use command line parameters), you can try to create it with Shell Object Editor (see Post #182).

When you really want one with an enhanced context menu, just PM me.

I get alot of PM's about the theme, icons and wallpaper that I used in the first post.

You can find all the info you need here. :happy:

hey, hope u get well soon, i really suck at computer stuff mostly so if you do happen to get a little free time all i would request is an icon for opera. thanks!

:D

    • I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.
    • It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
