Not going to confess why the 'fake' icons set as wallpaper was my first suggestion ... I would never do that to someone ... ;)

864021 2010-03-04 07:22:00 its OEM anyway so a reinstall would've been out of the question .

who would do such a thing anyway .

864022 2010-03-04 07:28:00 Not that I've ever done this . . .

Take a screenshot of the desktop and save as wallpaper . Then set the task bar to auto-hide and the "hide all icons" options on a desktop right click menu . Then run .

A guy at work thought it would be funny to stand by my desk and confess he just opened up a virus email (on a networked PC) . He thought it was funny how fast I jumped out of my chair . He didn't find it so funny when *for some reason* all his desktop icons disappeared for the rest of the day .

Moral of the story: never mess with a geek who knows more about PCs than you do . :p

864024 2010-03-04 07:34:00 I've done that a few times to people who got smart thinking they knew everything. I like to rotate the desktop upside down so the taskbar is at the top. Ice Road Trucker (15659)
