How can i hide all desktop icons (like My computer...) Thanks a lot.

What OS are you using? If you are using Win98, you can do this by going into the display properties. Under the 'effects' tab, there is a check box to 'hide icons when viewing the desktop as a webpage'. If you check this box, and then start the active desktop, voila, all the icons will be hidden and you will only see the background.

get the program tweakui from microsoft web site. from there you can do many interesting things with your system, as well as hiding all the icons on your desktop. Personally I dislike all active desktop related stuff, simply because it's an admins nightmare (my nightmare that is).

Go here:

and search for:

Active Icons
Icon Digger
Icon Snatch

I use all three and can find *any* icon on my PC and can Create/Edit new ones at will, then put them anywhere I want. And make many other changes to my Desktop and/or any icons anywhere.

(All those f's in the link are *NOT* a typo)!

Son of Spy's site is LOADED with untold goodies and links to even more. Don't let his 'name' throw you off, he is very privacy oriented.

If you want a simple click to toggle program get Cool Desktop from

http://www.coolbananas.com.au/

Find the version 1 which is free.
Run the program and it installs an icon near your clock. Click the icon to toggle desktop icons on/off.

The presence of the icon blocks taskbar auto-hide. You can remove the icon after you have turned off desktop icons. To restore the icons navigate to the directory where you installed the .exe

. This is from Win Registry Guide for w98 & NT
Settings:
Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Policies\Explorer]
Value Name: NoDesktop
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = disable restriction, 1 = enabled restriction)
