I have win2k, and I really despise the fact that I can't hide the My Computer, Network, and Recycle Bin.
I do not want to activate Active Desktop, and I've tried a method I learned on the internet by fiddling with the registry, but it does not work.
Also another problem is, I fear if I do get it to work, it would take away ALL the icons on my desktop, including files that will only temporary be there.
I want it so that I only hide My Computer, My Network Places, and Recycle Bin, but still be able to see files on Desktop.

Any suggestions?

(I know this is stupid, but please make that an irrelevant factor)

tweakUI

Turn off your monitor.

I forgot to mention, TweakUI was the reason was the reason I reformatted just a week ago.
Any other suggestions?
Preferably something with the Registry?

those gay ass themes for xp will also work with 2k. the third party software runs on both

geez if you cant properly install tweak UI you should consider whether you should have a computer. But if you dont want to do tweak UI, then X-teq should help, download the updates through the program, and then you can go to apperance and hide all the icons if you like.

I had no problem installing TweakUI, it was the uninstalling part that pissed me off.
I prefer not using a program this time.

You do realize that all these programs do is modify registry settings? If you really wanna dig through the reg by hand, check out winguides

all you do is delete the same file you moved in. What did you do wrong?

I installed TweakUI after Undoing all the changes I made, but it didn't uninstall correctly or something.
