There is no such setting (that I've found) in Win2K Group Policy.You can add
the setting yourself by importing a template into your policy:
- Paste the following into notepad
CLASS USER
CATEGORY "Custom Settings"
POLICY "Remove My Computer from Desktop"
KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\NonEnum"
VALUENAME "{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"
VALUEON NUMERIC 1
VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0
END POLICY
END CATEGORY ; Custom Settings
- Save the file with the extension ADM (redfish.adm, for example).
- For Win2K AD, open your policy and import the template
- For NT4 policy, just add the template to the policy.

Hi Jack:
Actually, I needed the users to see SOME icons, so the policy that removes
all icons won't work for me. What I really need is something that will hide
just the My Computer icon.

Group policy will accomplish this. We hide all desktop icons from our
students.

Hello Everyone:
I can't seem to find a way to hide the My Computer icon on a user's desktop.
Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.
