Just a little tip
Hi,
AS YOU SHOULD KNOW EDITING THE REGISTRY COULD BE DANGEROUS BUT IF YOU TAKE CRE THERE WILL BE NO PROBLEM. IF YOU HAVE'NT CHANGED THE REGISTRY BEFORE TAKE SPECIAL CARE. Anyone who wonders how to get icons like My Computer and my documents onto there desktop with out the little shortcut icon follow these steps. Type regedit in the run box and press enter. Go to the entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurr entVersi onExplorerdesktopNameSpace there will be a sub-key for each icon you see on the desktop (they are codes i'll tell you what the are in a minute).To get a icon add a sub-key in the folder:- My Computer {20D04FE0-3AEA-0169-A2D8-08002B30309D} My Documents {450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103} Recycle Bin {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} If you need any more send a message to this news group, maybe one with capital letters so i can see P.S. After you add this you might nedd to refresh the desktop. Right Click it and press Refresh. |

While your intent is well meaning, there is an easier way to do this in XP.

Sharon is so right. There is usually an easy way to do things in xp - all
you need is a little exploration. The registry should be left alone as far as possible, even if you back it up first. Mike. "Sharon F" wrote in message ...
