Hiding desktop icons in XP Pro

[johchris@hotmail.com]

okay don't use the remove desktop icons from any menu it
will slow your system down trust me I did this. First all
icons that where installed by programs just delete they
are on the start menu anyway. you should be left with 5
icons My computer, Recycle bin, network Places,Ie, and My
documents. Okay now right click the screen click
backgroung tab , customize desktop. You should see option
for 4 of the 5 there just uncheck them and clicl ok .
there gone. 1 Left recycle bin fire up tweak ui and under
desktop unclick reclcle bin and hit appy all done nice
clear desktop. Without the performance drop.
