Hi. I was just wondering if anybody who uses windows 2000 pro, knows where the settings are to Hide My COmputer from the desktop. I saw it about an hour ago, and I cant find it now. Thanks :tazz:

An easy way to hide ALL of your desktop icons, if youre running active desktop is - right click on the desktop go to active desktop then click the tab that says "show desktop icons" and all are gone.
