Full file names on Desktop Icons

coming from 10.5, all of my desktop icons revealed the full file name. under the icons. Now on 10.6.2, they are "..." abbreviated. I've looked everywhere and through the "Show View Options" by right-clicking, it only allows me to choose between showing the file info (like size), but not the full names.
Is there an option somewhere to address this?
Thanks!

Set the grid spacing wider in the view options (View menu, Show View Options).

How do I change application/dock/desktop icons?

I recently downloaded a set of icons I'd like to replace my current icons on my desktop/dock. However, I'm having some problems. I've searched for the process to switch them I'm aware that you have to go to the Command+i option, copy the icon in the left, then go to what you want to switch and paste it to the icon in the left there. However, I think I might be having a problem changing it to the icon because after I get the info window open, the icon in the left is not the actual icon I'm trying to change it to. It looks like this:
Instead of changing to the icon/picture I want, it changes to the identification of a .png/.ico image.
Am I making any sense? And if so, can someone please help?

I don't think I am exactly sure of your problem, but I'll comment anyway. The procedure for changing an icon is, kindof, how you have described it; select the item with the icon you want to use and choose Get Info. Then select the icon in the Get Info window, by clicking on it once (in the upper left). This will cause an outline to appear around it. Then select Copy from the edit menu. Now select the item you want to change and repeat that same procedure, except, select Paste from the Edit pull down menu, in place of Copy, after you have selected the icon in the Get Info window.
For changing System icons, you'll need something like CandyBar.

Why can't i change imac lion desktop icons

following the proper directions with get info etc. icons from websites will not change on imac desktop with downloaded icons with either png or jpg extensions

If you are selecting the new icon file and then pressing Command-C (Copy), that will not work to place the icon on the Clipboard (which is where it must be in order to do a Paste).
Do a Get Info on the new icon file. In its Get Info window, select the icon in the upper left, then press Command-C. Then go to the old file, do a Get Info, select itsicon in the upper left, and press Command-V (Paste).
If the Get Info window displays a generic icon for the new file in the upper left, look down to the preview area in the Get Info window - it should display the icon you want to snag. Double-click that preview image, and it should open in Preview. Then click the image in Preview once, press Command-A (Select All), then press Command-C (Copy). Close the Preview window, do a Get Info on the target file, select its icon in the upper left and press Command-V (Paste).

Changing font under desktop icons

Something kind of screwy has been going on with the font under my desktop icons for a while now. It's totally different from the font that the rest of my system uses. I'm not entirely sure what font it is, but it looks a lot like the font that terminal uses. It's white and outlined in black when I don't use a color label, and then turns really skinny and black when I do use a color label. Is there any way to revert back to the original font? Thanks.

Hi Joseph,
If you mean Font Finagler, then no, that won't change your fonts. David was saying his fonts weren't displaying properly, which Font Finagler may fix by removing corrupt font cache files.
It sounds like you want to actually change the fonts the system uses for its display. The only haxie I know of that can do that is Silk.

Changing location of desktop icons

I made a news ticker in director 11. I want to place it on
top of the desktop. I am doing it perfectly fine but i want to
change the location of the desktop icons so that no icons come
under my director window. How can I do it through Lingo? Can I
access the computer desktop through Lingo?

Interesting question. You might be able to find something in
buddyAPI, but I don't recall ever seeing a function like that...
or, if you can find a command line utility like NirCmd
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
then you could use Valentin's Shell Xtra
http://staff.dasdeck.de/valentin/xtras/shell/
to interface with the command line utility to move the desktop
icons around.... here's a similar question asked, but for someone
looking to do it programmatically:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/131690/how-can-i-programmatically-manipulate-windows-de sktop-icon-locations
It's an unusual question at best - I've never seen it asked
before here - so it's going to be likely that the solution will
require custom programming an Xtra or command line utility or
whatever to accomplish it.

Change name on firefox icon

Somehow the name of something I searched ended up under the opening icon instead of firefox mozilla. How do I change it back? It doesn't seem to affect the operation of the program.

Sounds that you created a desktop shortcut to a website on your desktop.<br />
You create such a shortcut if you drag a link or tab or the favicon on the location bar on the desktop.<br />
You can delete that desktop shortcut.
Don't you have the regular Firefox desktop shortcut to start Firefox?
You can create a new Firefox desktop shortcut via a right-click on the Mozilla Firefox item in "Start menu > All Programs > Mozilla Firefox".<br />
Right-click the Mozilla Firefox item and choose: Send To > Desktop (create shortcut).<br />
If the Mozilla Firefox entry in the Start menu is missing then you can use Windows Explorer to create a new folder structure and place a shortcut to the Firefox.exe program file in that folder
C:\Users\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla Firefox

Full file name under desktop icon, not a finder window.

Hello, is it possible to have icons/dirs on the desktop display their entire name without ellipses? Don't care about /path.
Thank-you,
Dennis

Try launching "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and entering these commands:<pre>
defaults write com.apple.finder FXDesktopLayoutGridCharCount -int 50
osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to quit'</pre>
Then restart the "Finder" by clicking on its "Dock" icon.
You can try different numbers other than "50" until you find a value that suits your preferences.
Edit: oops, too slow I guess.

Change Itunes Desktop Icon

How do I change the Itunes desktop icon to something more pleasing when the "Change Icon" button is greyed out in properties?

It appears that you can't change the icon that iTunes creates in the All users desktop, but you can create a new one if you really care about this.
Go to Program Files\iTunes, right click on iTunes.exe and select Send to>>Desktop (create shortcut). I think you will be able to change this icon.

Some of the desktop icons have enlarged themselves how do I reverse this?

First, you are running a very old version of Firefox. Please update to Firefox 11 ASAP.
As for your desktop icons, read [http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/changing-windows-7-desktop-icons-size.aspx http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/changing-windows-7-desktop-icons-size.aspx]. Please note this isn't related to Firefox, so in the future, [http://www.google.com google.com] is your friend ;)

How do I make the clickpad cause the size of my desktop icons to change?

As I work through the day, something I do to the clickpad seems to cause my desktop icons to suddenly grow larger, or shrink smaller. I have noticed that the icon change happens as I sweep my regular clickpad finger across the clickpad. I'm not sure what I'm doing with the other hand at the same time, but I seem to be touching the clickpad's left button area at least part of the time. The sudden increase in size of icons causes them to rearrange themselves into an unfamiliar pattern, i.e. a mess. So I then must take time to rearrange about 40 icons, thereby becoming vastly less efficient with a computer than I would be if using pencil and paper. I am not able to reproduce this action at will; it only happens while I'm working normally well, concentrating on other things.
If any of you know exactly how this occurs, and what the feature is called, please tell me the name and, much more importantly, please tell me how I can stop this from occurring. I've searched HP's instructions for the clickpad, searched for a newer driver, and searched the forums to no avail. The notebook computer is a Pavilion DV7-4280us (a quick-ship model). The offending clickpad is, apparently, being beta tested on unsuspecting consumers who, choose to believe the HP tech support and sales folks instead of the numerous previous consumers who have complained about these clickpads in customer reviews. Overall, this computer really is terrific; but I sure could use some help to prevent these undesirable scramblings of my desktop icons that suddenly outgrow the space allocated to them. Thanks in advance for your help.

Firefox now always stores the old session which you can access by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session".
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# In the Firefox menu select Preferences to open the Preferences window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
If you have it set to the above but it is not remembering the tabs, the file that stores details of sessions may be corrupt.
# Open your profile folder, for details of how to find it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
# Close Firefox
# In the profile folder delete sessionstore.js
That file will be recreated when you next start Firefox

How can I replace desktop icon accidentally changed?

Trying to change a new folder icon I've changed the icon of desktop. I'd like to restor the old one. Can anyone help me?

The easiest way is to do it through iTunes. Connect your iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, choose your iPad under "Devices", then click on "Apps" at the top of the main window. You'll see your iPad's layout. Click on the page with the app you want to move, then drag the app to the page you want.
You can also drag the apps around on the iPad itself, but it's a little more of a pain. Hold your finger down on any app until every icon starts to shake. You can now drag and drop any icon to different locations/pages. To drag an app to another page, drag it to the far right or left of thew screen until the page switches - you'll have to do this until you get it to the page you want it on. Press the home button to get out of this mode (the icons will stop shaking).

Full desktop icon name visibility

my desktop icons have an ellipses (e.g "xxx...xxx.filetype") on them. Is there a way to see the full name of the file?
I don't seem to see this in the GetInfo dialog and clicking in the window as if I was going to rename it is really a PITA.
In this case I have three scans in pdf form and all start with "taxes" and end with "...y.pdf".
Any ideas?
Thanks very much.

Hi j.
Thank you.
Man - I seem to be in a continuing debate as to whether I should do a full reinstall of the OS even though I definitely do not have the time for this right now.
Can you tell me whether the fact that I did this (sounds like a good suggestion) and then the icons on my desktop all got basically slapped up against the right hand side of my desktop on my MacPro tower? I mean is this /normal/ behavior?
I have to totally re-configure my desktop icons because I just changed the grid size?
Thanks,
Jon
