View Full Version : Hiding desktop icons in XP Pro
Russ H
April 26th 04, 02:05 PM
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--
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

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)

Sorry Kelly--
I forgot about the check in start menu properties for favorites 4/23/04--I
should have visited it first. When I realized soon after, I had no way to
delete the post. Hopefully in *most cases*, I'm not taking the *long way
around* including some of the keyboard combos and links for regedits/tweaks
for getting things done.
Thanks,
Chad Harris

David--
Thanks a lot, and thanks for the heads up with reference to GP/tweakers.
That was sure one that needed cancelling. I'd scrolled those checkboxes a
lot, but not lately enough, and didn't remember favorites was one of the
boxes so I dragged them over. I should have looked.
On your post comparing the features of Tweak UI 1.33, and Tweak UI XP 2.10,
one option to use features no longer in the one for XP is to have them both.

Select your post, Message Menu - Cancel Message. Sometimes it needs to be
done twice. This deletes from the server so only people who have already

is up to them. It will pull your post from most people's view of the group.
The options disappear when Active Desktop is turned off by Group Policy or a

Select your post, Message Menu - Cancel Message. Sometimes it needs to be
done twice. This deletes from the server so only people who have already
downloaded it will see it. Whether other usenet servers honour the request
is up to them. It will pull your post from most people's view of the group.
The options disappear when Active Desktop is turned off by Group Policy or a
tweaking program.

David--
Thanks a lot, and thanks for the heads up with reference to GP/tweakers.
That was sure one that needed cancelling. I'd scrolled those checkboxes a
lot, but not lately enough, and didn't remember favorites was one of the
boxes so I dragged them over. I should have looked.
On your post comparing the features of Tweak UI 1.33, and Tweak UI XP 2.10,
one option to use features no longer in the one for XP is to have them both.
