actually I want to hide everything on the desktop.
BUT using ">right click on desktop>View>Show Desktop Icons (deselect)" to do that is tedious.

So if someone can point me in the way to creating a macro or tweak my registry for these two similar but kinda different tasks I would be very thankful.


PEACE!

No Recycle Bin Script

Copy and paste the lines below and open in Notepad, then choose Save As, click the drop-down box and choose All Fies and then manually enter the .reg

I've got it, tested on Windows7. Save as before, run the script, then right-click on you desktop and choose refresh or hit the F5 key.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStaMenu]
"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]...
