This doesn’t work, all it does after I put in Alt + 255 is a y with two dots on top of it. Help please?

If you are on a laptop you have to enable number lock and then use the ‘number pad’ (for me K=5 and I=5).

You have to retype the names again since you’re replacing the names with spaces. If you haven’t done anything else, pressing Ctrl + Z would do.

@Nikolai – Obviously you didn’t try that or else you would’ve haev realized that Windows doesn’t like it very much.

hey! i have a better idea! the alt+255 adea? well…. not very smart! this is what i did to my icons it’s very very very very simple!

1st step = just right click on the icon then scroll down. find “rename” then just hit “spacebar” only once for the first icon. but when you go to another icon, just repeat 1st step, but hit “spacebar” 2x. then to another icon hit “spacebar” 3x. ect…you’ll get the piont.

its better when you type “Hold Alt+255″

What about rename —– right click —– Insert Unicode Control Character —– then Left-to-right mark .
then no name or click without aim .
