In this article we will deal with the Firefox shortcut for the sake of example. This shortcut is rather beautiful, but we have to choose something.  To do this, we do the following simple actions. 1. Go to shortcut properties and change the icon associated with it to transparent. It is usually included into the Shell32.dll library located in the System32 folder. If there is no transparent icon, it can be easily found in the Internet using the “blank.ico” keyword.  2. Press apply and close the settings window.  3. Rename the shortcut to get rid of its name. It is impossible to fill the name with usual spaces, but we can use non-breaking space. To do this, type 0160 on your numpad holding the Alt key (make sure that you have Num Lock turned on), then press Enter and see the following:  4.
