BrettF Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 (edited) Maybe something like... ; Put MY Computer Shortcut On Desktop [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel] "{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000 ; Put MY Documents Shortcut On Desktop [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel] "{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}"=dword:00000000 ; Recycle Bin [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu] "{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel] "{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000000 ;Put my computer my network places my documents on the desktop [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel] "{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000 "{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}"=dword:00000000 "{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000 "{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000 ;Sorts My Computer Above My Documents [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}] "SortOrderIndex"=dword:00000054 Thats all i could really find... To hide change the dword to "00000001" I take it you understand that registry tweaks can render your system unstable, and I take no responsibilty for anything that happens if you muck it up. Or something like that. Basically, use at your own risk!

MrCreatoR Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Thats all i could really find... To hide change the dword to "00000001"Thats a start, thanks a lot!Now i need to figure out what name used for each those elements - for example, in my system element My Computer named as Мой компьютер (russian), and i need to find where in the registry stored this information... and also there is need to compare this name with classid, so i can check if this particular item is on desktop (using RegRead() and checking the dword values).
