[Astalavista]

huh??? really... where did u get that tguy

the correct code for it is

; Displays My Computer My Network Places and My Documents on the Desktop
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu]
"{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}"=dword:00000000
"{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000
"{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000
"{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
"{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000
"{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000

"{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}"=dword:00000000

and if u want My computer to be first

;First Icon My Computer
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}]

  6f,00,74,00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,\
  00,53,00,48,00,45,00,4c,00,4c,00,33,00,32,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,2c,00,\
  2d,00,32,00,32,00,39,00,31,00,34,00,00,00

Really, where did you get that second tweak Astalavista InfoTip has nothing to do with the position of the icon, and I afaik there's no difference between HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, so this should be enough:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}]
"SortOrderIndex"=dword:00000054

[Astalavista]

sorry i missed that i was in a hurry...

just in case he wants to tweak his infotips as well.

hahhaha thanks for pointing that out.

[avr3]

Thank !!!!!!!

[DSARick]

What if I want to do this for all users?

I tried changing HKEY_CURRENT_USER TO HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and it didn't work.

What am I missing?

Thanks.
