Yzöwl Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Not with a reg key!You will need to run a script, prefereably at first logon to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uid0 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 You could try something like this:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00; Remove Recycle bin from desktop[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}][-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}]; Remove My documents from desktop[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu]"{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}"=dword:00000001[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]"{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}"=dword:00000001; remove my computer[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu]"{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000001[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]"{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000001; remove network places[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu]"{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000001[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]"{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000001See http://www.msfn.org/board/RegTweaks-Collec...v04-t85466.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yzöwl Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Well if you don't mean those uid0 suggested above, of which only the recycle bin shows by default in XP non-classic mode, then I guess you mean shortcuts.For those you could use the compiled script in the attached, compressed archive![please malware-scan the file and make your own judgement on whether or not you wish to use it.]NoLinx.7z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can choose to hide all desktop icons or deleteall icons from desktop folders and hide the rest. Compile it and run.Works in Windows XP 64 bit too.Yzöwl's exe can't hide icons which are not in desktop folders.

Yzöwl Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Yzöwl's exe can't hide icons which is not in desktop folders. Correct, my exe removes all shortcuts from the `current` and `all users` Desktop.Along with the prior response from uid0, it exactly answers the question asked.Why use five sticks on dynamite when one will do!

radix Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) thanks by the way its au3 file and i don't know how to it under my (during my installation ) .Install AutoIt, r. click on au3 file->edit (if you want to change something). Compile (r. click->compile) and use this compiled file (is silent!). Edit: Download my file again if you want to hide tray icons too. By default is set to not hide the tray icons, but if you want to,set $trayicons = "1" in script.Cheers Edited February 16, 2008 by radix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
