Sorry for seeming a little dim with my last message, George. I thought I couldn't delete the original icon as Windows put it onb the desktop. However, I created a shortcut, assigned a hot key, changed the name and deleted the original. It seems fine so far. Thanks.

Right Click on My Network Places. Select "Create Shortcut" from the menu. Now go to the newly created shortcut icon, where you will be able to do what you want via Properties.
