With Vista Ultimate I had the same “can’t delete the renamed ALT + 0160 Folder” issue. I do have a dual boot system though. So, I just gave “everyone” all rights to this folder. Rebooted into my XP OS and was able to delete it with no problem. Rebooted to Vista and it was gone!

That’s interesting… But is there also a way to make desktop shortcuts show ALL their text, too? I realize this is the other end of the spectrum from what you’re discussing—but being a writer, I’d really like to see all the text, rather than the first word or two. Thanks!

It work for first four icon but it start renaming the rest 7, 5 9 etc.
I don’t noe why? but may be because I missed this long calcuation alt+255, alt+255, alt+255.

Seems to work differently for Vista SP-2. When holding down ALT and pressing 255, a single dot appears, instead of ‘blank’. Not quite the same thing, but it CAN be renamed.

You do have a numberpad on your laptop, you just don’t see it. Look at the keys closer…do you see several of them with small numbers below the letters? Now do you see the FN key off to the lower left of the keyboard? Keep the FN key pressed to use the number pad.

Put cursor on the Icon press F2 and type the required text? I like this easy way.
