Hi,

Right click on any desktop icon and choose "Rename". Use the backspace key to remove the text. Hit Enter. Now the text will be gone, but the icon should remain.

Cheers,

there a registry entry you can modify that removes all icons from the desktop

i have all mine in the toolbar, desktop is completely clean
looks sweet and still functional

if ya need it , post back and i will get it for ya

totally forgot, right click on tool bar, theres an option, to place desktop icons in the tool bar, (duh)but that still leaves the icons on your desktop, so couldnt you just delete the ones on desktop, and use ones that are in toolbar? or would that cause a problem with there function

Hi Donna, Hey BigBlue, Nasb7771,

I gave it a try. Instead of hitting "backspace" I hit the "space bar".

Worked perfectly. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif
