| 83051 | 2002-09-25 08:24:00 | Download or get a copy of TweakUI for Windows XP (often found on the PCWorld Cover Cd's) or from PowerToys (www.microsoft.com) Install TweakUI and you can enable/disable various desktop icons (among many other - more useful - things) Babe. |

| 83052 | 2002-09-25 08:32:00 | The recycle bin icon is not a shortcut, so if you edit your registry to delete it, you will delete it from you system, at list thats the case for the other windows systems. | Bill P (1660) | ||
| 83053 | 2002-09-25 08:37:00 | To remove desktop icons requires edit of the registry. You can however have a clear desktop by doing the following. Clean off your desk-remove all desktop icons from your desktop. The Windows Active Desktop allows you to view Web sites, updated subscription channels, pictures (including animated pictures), and more. If you want to see all this content without desktop icons getting in the way: 1. Right-click anywhere on the Active Desktop. 2. Highlight Active Desktop and click Customize my desktop . 3. Click the Effects tab. 4. Check Hide icons when the desktop is viewed as a Web page . Don't worry-you still have access to your desktop icons. In Windows you can add them to your taskbar: 1. Right-click a blank area on the taskbar. 2. Highlight Toolbars and click Desktop . The Desktop toolbar will appear on the taskbar. |
