In my previous Post “How to remove Recycle bin from Desktop“, we tried to remove recycle bin icon.As i mentioned earlier in my previous post, There are no such option provided by xp to remove recycle bin except using group policy editor but if you are trying to hide all icon from desktop then there is a quick and easy way of doing that.
Don’t worry, there is no technical or registry editing to do here.Well, this feature is itself given in window xp, which will make all icon including recycle bin icon hidden on desktop.This option is right under your mouse right click menu.This feature can play as prank too.This trick may be knowing only by few people, since there was a request by some of our reader regarding “how to hide all icon using any alternative method”.
