Tweaking Shortcuts

You can create nameless shortcuts on the desktop and then use it to activate a secret application. To do this:

     1. Right mouse click on the shortcut and choose Rename.

     2. Hold down the ALT key and type +0160 (using the numeric keypad on the right side of your
         keyboard) as the new name.
     3. To create another nameless shortcut on your desktop, type a space after the ALT+0160
         character.
     4. For the next, type two spaces after the ALT+0160 character and so on.

     6. Choose Save As.
     7. Save it as blank.ico
     8. Right mouse click on the application shortcut on the desktop.
