Greetings everyone..

Some helping hand needed here.. blush.gif
This is how the desktop looks currently..
user posted image

1) How to remove all desktop's icon(MyComputer,RecycleBin,MyNetworkPlaces)?..
- i'd tried:-
i- TweakUI(not compatible i think.. cant install..)
ii- run>gpedit.msc>UserConfiguration>AdministrativeTemplates>Desktop>
- "Hide all icons in Desktop" Enabled + "Hide MyNetworkPlaces icon" Enabled
but... they didnt work as well...

2) How to change the VS?...
- Styler,StyleXP not compatible in Windows 2000
- the only tools available is WindowsBlind.. but the PC specs is Pentium MMX 200MHz + 128MB of RAM installed.. laugh.gif
- is there any other way i can install them manually(like XP we can put the VS in "C:/Windows/Resources" folder)?.. sorry but I failed to find any usefull info in Google.. notworthy.gif

3) Besides that, anybody got cool Windows 2000's compatible VS to share with?..

Thanx for reading.. Ur help is greatly appreciated.. notworthy.gif

to remove icon, try this:
  1. right click your desktop.
  2. select active desktop.
  3. uncheck show desktop icon.
and you can only change your win2000 visual style using windowblinds sad.gif

u know what, all the icon suddenly gone after 2nd time logoff in with this pc.. i guess the change that i made in "gpedit.msc" b4 was just effective..
but the great thing now is when right click on the desktop, the context menu is gone.. laugh.gif
sorry ijat i cant try ur method for the icon right now.. i cant reach 'em.. sweat.gif

you maybe encounter a lot of problem while using wb.
taskbar not skinned etc etc.
my suggestion is look for an older skin.
you can find it here.
