Q: Is there any way to rename the Network icon (for example, to "My Network Places") in Windows Vista? The context menu which appears when you right-click the Network icon on the Vista desktop doesn’t have a "Rename" option. A: Yes, the Network icon text can be renamed. But it takes a registry edit. Follow these steps:
Click Start, type regedit.exe and press ENTER
Navigate to the following location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Classes \ Local Settings \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Shell \ MuiCache
In the right-pane, locate the value named @C:\Windows\system32\NetworkExplorer.dll,-1
Double-click @C:\Windows\system32\NetworkExplorer.dll,-1
Replace the existing data ("Network") with your preferred text (say, "My Network Places")
Click OK and exit the Registry Editor.
Press F5 to refresh the desktop icons.
