BTW, TweakUI is not necessary for this except to remove a few
system-specific icons such as Network Neighborhood (I've tried to do so
using TweakUI, BTW, and had Windows 95 completely remove networking
support along with it. MS's desktop is not particularly intelligent,
PowerToys or not). In fact, any icons except for My Computer, Network
Neighborhood and the Recycle Bin can be moved and/or deleted. These
three, it seems, MUST remain on the desktop (pretty brain-dead, if you
ask me).
Your friend and mine,
Matt
