re: Question about 'Hide all Icons on the Desktop' Friday, November 9, 2001 at 9:37 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Curt R (1315 messages posted) You can use the Group Policy MMC to remove some desktop icons and tweak a few settings to increase security. See the following image...note: to open the GP MMC, go to your Start Menu >> Run >> type "gpedit.msc" (no quotes) >> hit Enter. Then go to the location you see in the left hand side of the graphic. In fact, if you're looking to tweak your system, check the whole thing out, there are lots of little security tweak in there On Friday, November 9, 2001 at 7:41 pm, Bigalow wrote: >I have a question about Hide >all Icons on the Desktop: > >I have win2k pro and I've tried hiding all my desktop icons as per the instructions >but it didn't work.Can it be done with 2kpro and if so I'd love to know how.
