Network desktop icon
Hi,
Have just downloaded and installed Vista x86, and wonder if there is any way to rename the Network icon on the desktop to something other than 'Network'? Any assistance gratefully received. Mark

I A**umed the shortcut name would follow :-/ The more I use Vista, the more I wonder "what were they thinking"? Being able to name a "network", but not using that name on the icon. Why bother?? I am a**uming that named networks and have different Firewall rules and other properties. My bad.........

Yes, I can't really see the logic of this either. Clearly, somebody somewhere decided that it was a good idea to remove the "Rename" item from the context menu associated with the network icon on the desktop...
