Gray Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi,I've asked this before a while back, but it seemed really complicated... I just want a really-easy-to-follow-in-Layman's-terms method of removing the icon from the desktop with an unattended install.Thanks!Gray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glitterglue Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 For general unattended information, go here: http://unattended.msfn.org/index.htmTo answer your question specifically, put these files in your $OEM$ directory._OEM_.zip_OEM_.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 Thanks for that glitterglue, much appreciated.I used the fabulous msfn unattended method to make my CD, but I couldn't find any reference anywhere to how to remove that particular icon.It seems like a fair bit of code just to remove it!Thanks again.

[BM]Crusher Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 normally, you would have no icons after a fresh installation of windows right?anyway, i know how to do it and i will help you it's a registry setting:; Desktop icons[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]"{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000"{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000"{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}"=dword:00000000"{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000I can't remember if I have them set to enabled or disabled (I think 0 is enabled and 1 is disabled for some reason)I can't remember what each one does again either! I can't remember much today... all I can remember is that the code above will have all 4 icons showing on the desktop change the last '0' in the dword value to '1' to disable an icon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
