Renaming Desktop Shortcuts

[Bob Woolston]

For some reason, XP will not retain my shortcut names for Outlook, My
Computer, Network Places, and Recycle Bin. When I rename these
shortcuts, the next time I start XP they are back to the old (i.e.
default) names. Why is XP doing this? BTW, I used Power Toys to rename
the recycle bin, which is not retained either, fir what that is worth.

It your video drivers doing it. Rollback your driver.

Bob,

David told you the ultimate answer. Here is a workaround from Keith Miller, if you're interested:

You're forcing the icons to retain the name.
