How to remove the text from the Desktop icon or create an unnamed icon?

Desktop is the interface of Windows, which contain the icons, taskbar etc. that allow the user to interact with the computer to perform different operations. Usually the picture of icon represents its purpose so if you want your desktop looking very clean then you can remove the title under the desktop icons. May be you are thinking it is so easy, just go to rename option and set blank name or single spacebar entry but the problem is this, windows will not allow you to set blank name or name with single spacebar entry. Here interesting thing is this; window will allow you to use the ASCII code for a space, which is 0160.
 
First clear all the text from that icon.
Now type the ASCII code, simply hold the Alt key, type the number 0160 from the number pad and release the Alt key then press Enter button to finish the process.

What if you do not set the property 'hadoop.tmp.dir'?

In  Hadoop installation directory under the core-site.xml file in the conf directory there used to be a property 'hadoop.tmp.dir'. This property is used to define the directory at the local filesystem which will store the data for the namenode and the data node. There're three HDFS properties which contain hadoop.tmp.dir in their values- dfs.name.dir : directory where namenode stores its metadata, with default value ${hadoop.tmp.dir}/dfs/name . dfs.data.dir : directory where HDFS data blocks are stored, with default value ${hadoop.tmp.dir}/dfs/data . fs.checkpoint.dir : directory where secondary namenode store its checkpoints, default value is ${hadoop.tmp.dir}/dfs/namesecondary . Usually the default value for "hadoop.tmp.dir" is '/tmp/hadoop-{username}'. With many of the OS restarts, the 'tmp' directory contents are deleted and hence  you may loose the data directory for the namenode as well as th datanode content. And then if you...
