Re: Rename desktop icon mount points??

[Glenn <glenpm usa net>]

Thank you very much.

I didn't notice that the cursor could be placed directly in the text
field. I had tried left, middle and right dialog boxes.

This is getting too much like Windoze ;-)

To rename a desktop icon, you have to 

        1. Single-click on the icon in the root window (your "desktop"
on 
           which the icons appear) 

        2. Single-click on the label underneath the icon. You should now 
           see a blinking cursor inside the label.

        3. Use backspace and/or arrow keys to navigate and edit the
label. 
           Don't worry if the label seems to disappear when you delete
all 
           the text, just type your new name.

        4. Press enter (or click somewhere else) when you are done to
make 
           the change permanent.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Syd.
