HKLM is short for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE."

You are apparently new to registry editing. Be extremely careful.
Changes are saved immediately, and mistakes can screw up your
computer royally. This is not a place for beginners to fool
around in.

HKLM is an abbreviation for Hkey_Local_Machine.

>> I am trying to add a option in the folder vew box !

What option? Customizing the folder background involves modifying the
desktop.ini file.

Hi,

Go to Start/Run and type in: Regedit

From there you will have five hives listed. The third is called
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

As per your subject line:

Edit the desktop.ini file in the folder and remove the line
IconArea_Text=0x00000000 (some number)

HKLM is shorthand for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\

And yes I am very new with the registry, but I am very careful, you web
page has a lot of stuff for me to read about the registry!

If you don't mind, I would like to explain to you about what I am trying
to do and maybe you can help me with this!

I have done this or I should say tried to [(Add Recycle Bin to Folder
Options

Listings 1 and 2 are the direct way to hide the Recycle Bin icon. To
demonstrate one of the cooler ways to hack the Windows XP registry, I'll show
you a better way to hide the icon. We'll give it a user interface.



Listing 3 does just that. It extends Folder Options by adding an option for
showing the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop. Customizing the key
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder is
how you add options to this dialog box. Advanced users can use this key as a
guide for how to extend it. Beginners can use this script to add an option
for the Recycle Bin icon: Save Listing 3 below in the text file Binopt.reg
and then double-click it. After importing Binopt.reg into the registry, a new
option is listed in the Folder Options dialog box that lets you configure the
Recycle Bin icon)] when I make the reg. file my computer comes back and says
[(cannot import C:\Documents and settings\Jesse ----\Desktop\Binopt.reg:
The specified file is not a registry script. you can only import binary files
from with in the registry editor.)]

I have followed the instructions could you help with this if I can get this
for the recycle bin I may be able do it for other things, Amen lol

Thank you for your time!
