Try this:

Remove all desktop icons
To hide Desktop Icons use Explorer key use the following Windows NT registry hack :

Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER

Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies \Explorer

Name: NoDesktop

Type: REG_DWORD

Value: 1

HTH,

David

Nice background... Can't even tell it's a background, just looks like a pic.

I would think there would be another way(through the GUI) to hide desktop icons in 2K, 'cause there is in 98, ME & XP.

But, it worked... That's all he needed...

This reminds me of an ROP class I'm taking which teaches you how to use the Microsoft Office Programs. They probably don't want to make the my computer Icon available since you might do something to their systems.
