DOC: ModifyDesktopItem Fails to Modify Friendly Name (184782)
The information in this article applies to:

This article was previously published under Q184782 SUMMARY
To modify the friendly name of a desktop item, the Internet Client SDK
documentation for the IActiveDesktop ModifyDesktopItem method implies that
all that is necessary is to pass the new name in the COMPONENT structure
along with an appropriate AD_APPLY_* flag. If this is done, the friendly
name will not change.
To change the friendly name either the flag COMP_ELEM_FRIENDLYNAME* or
COMP_ELEM_ALL must be passed to the ModifyDesktopItem method and a
subsequent call made to the IActiveDesktop ApplyChanges method. The
COMP_ELEM_* flags are defined in the header file Shlobj.h.
