Delete ALL icons from the desktop

Can't delete the recycle bin and some other folders =(

Thursday, September 7, 2006 by BallisticD | Discussion: ObjectDock

Need some help with this.

I have deleted all the shortcuts on the desktop so the Object Dock would look nice, by the way, I don't even need the shortcuts because I have them all in the Object Dock. Now to the problem:

The Recycle Bin and two other folders just won't go away, that's because they're not shortcuts.
How do I remove these icons to another place without making them shortcuts to that other place? I just want my dekstop to be clean form everything, except the Object Dock ofcourse.

Appreciate answers!

The most simple way to remove the desktop icons is the following:

Right-click desktop > Arrange Icons by > deselect "Show Desktop Icons". Note - this will hide the icons.

Another popular option is to use the "TweakUI" free utility from MS (easy google search).

Thank you very much. I did it the simple way (Deselected "Show Dsktop Icons")
