Now how would I go about removing those left over icons?

[Santa]

just grab and drop them onto the desktop
watch them explode
or
in configuration remove icons

No, not the icons from the dock. Those are fine, customized every single one myself.

I meant the icons on my desktop, My Computer, My Documents, etc. I can't delete the My Computer icon. :unsure:

Right click on your desktop and select Arrange Icons By> Remove checkmark from: Show Desktop Icons.

This will remove all icons from desktop
see spoiler
or
simply use the .reg file in attachment

How about...

Start>Run>type: gpedit.msc
+-User Configuration
-+-Adminisrative templates
-+-Desktop>Hide and disable all items on the desktop.

I don't have that option either, running Windows 2000.

100%:
Anyway to do it without editing the registry? :unsure:

[Virtualbody1234]

Strange. In mine it shows:


Requirements:
At least Microsoft Windows 2000

Removes icons, shortcuts, and other default and user-defined items from the desktop, including Briefcase, Recycle Bin, My Computer, and My Network Places.

Removing icons and shortcuts does not prevent the user from using another method to start the programs or opening the items they represent.

[Rip The Jacker]

Strange indeed. I don't see that option anywhere...

[Santa]

Start>Run>type: gpedit.msc
+-User Configuration
-+-Adminisrative templates
-+-Desktop>Hide and disable all items on the desktop.

yes its there
ripj do the gpedit tweak

Whoops didn't even see this post, found it, and enabled it. Refreshing the desktop still didn't make the icons go away, so let me try rebooting...

[Rip The Jacker]

It worked like a charm, thanks guys.

I just might keep ObjectDock...

[INK]

[jdpatel]

How do you get rid of the the default XP toolbar?

[Virtualbody1234]

No problem.

[tesco]

How do you get rid of the the default XP toolbar?
Object Dock should have an option to remove the taskbar.

[Rip The Jacker]

Yup. ObjectDock lets you hide the taskbar in the options.

Install it, then head over to WinCustomize.com, there around hundreds or high quality icons for ObjectDock.
