Disabling Wrapping Icon / Shortcut Labels - Registry Tweaks !!

We can change a lot of windows settings by tweaking the WINDOWS REGISTRY according to our choice. These tweaks can make your windows run faster with improved efficiency & performance. We can user some third party utility (like TWEAKUI) or WINDOWS REGISTRY EDITOR for the tweaking. Here I am giving some simple Registry Tweaks which you can do yourself by using the windows registry editor.

IMPORTANT : Tweaking windows registry can be dangerous if not done properly. In worst case scenario windows may not boot at all or some of your software / applicantion may not work. I do not take any responsibility if any data loss occurs. Proceed at your own risk.

PRECAUTION : Backup your registry or it will be better if you make an Image of your System before proceeding with registry editing.

Disabling Wrapping Icon / Shortcut Labels

We may need icons / shortcuts in the desktop with long names, which windows wraps up by default and we want full names to be displayed. With a registry tweak we can disable the wrapping, create a String value IconTitleWrap with value 0 in the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics
