Hiding desktop icons in XP Pro

[Russ H]

I like my wallpaper uncluttered. Usually hide my desktop
icons and work from the task bar. Always before in XP Pro
when I right tap the desktop and choose "Arrange Icons By",
I get a menu including "Show Desktop Icons". Turning that
off hides the icons. Now I have a new copy of SP Pro on a
new computer. When I access "Arrange Icons By', there is no
"Show Desktop Icons", although many of the other familiar
commands are present.

Is there another way to hide desktop icons in XP Pro?

Grateful for any help or advice.

Russ

Russ--

You can use a regedit or 3rd party app to get this done:

1) Iconoid by Sillysot: (Free Download)

http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winme/r1064364201

2) Two regedits that will do it from Winguides:

Hide All Items on the Desktop
http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/147/

Change Desktop Icon Visability
http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/7/

Chad,

You are really trying hard in the groups, as I have noticed. However, you
are seemingly, in most cases taking the long way around things. Reason
being, you are not familiar enough with what you are answering (case on
point - Start Menu shortcuts, etc).

Stick to what you know well and post away. :o)
