What the heck! It worked. Thank you very much!!! I've been banging my
head trying to get rid of that freakin' icon for the last few days.
Finally, it's gone. By the way, where did you learn to write custom
policies? Can you recommend any good books? Thanks again.

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.
