Getting rid of Desktop Icons ??

Recommended Posts

Is there a way of getting rid of the System Desktop Icons off my desktop ??

 

I mean the 'My Computer', 'My Network Places' and the 'Recycle Bin' ones.

 

I just want NOTHING on my desktop and to access these from the taskbar launchers.

 

Thanks.

Right-click on the desktop, and choose Active Desktop -> Show Web Content. Then right-click again, and uncheck Active Desktop -> Show Desktop Icons.

In registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

create a new DWORD key named NoDesktop and set its value to 1

That way you will loose the whole desktop
