Hello,
September 9, 2015
PLEASE HELP…..THANK YOU!!!!!
I’VE SPENT WEEKS ON THIS
I have on my desktop approximately 100 “Things To Do” icons,
they were created in text/edit and cropped and screenshotted and appear on my desktop.
Because I am UNABLE to remove the FILE NAMES the vertical space they take up is wasted space, if I can get rid of the file names then I can stack all these things to do icons right on top of each other and not waste all that space.
They are .png files,
In view options I already removed “item information” BUT can NOT remove the file NAMES
I AM able to remove the file names if I rename file 1 as SPACE BAR in other words hit the space bar once and the file name COMPLETELY disappears
BUT when I try to rename file 2 I have to hit the space bar TWICE and for the 100 icons I will end up hitting the space bar 100 times on the 100th file or hit the space bar 99 times to get the file name to not appear.
There is supposed to be a way of doing this by making alias, but I am lost on procedure.
I’ve tried selecting the files in finder and right clicking and choosing format dropdown to rename them all “SPACE BAR” but that only sequentially batch renames the files from 0-100 or 1-100
SO I NOW TURN TO AUTOMATOR
I don’t know how to use it REALLY.
Can someone PLEASE offer me SIMPLE instructions on how to remove the file names from these 100 desktop icons, remember they are .png files and each file looks like a white window with ONE thing to do in each box for example “Go To Bank”….100 Icons.
WHAT is the simplest way to do this?……..PLEASE!!!!!!!
