Active Desktop breaks when recycle bin is *not* displayed on the desktop

Laura Heisey

I'm running XP Pro, SP1, and I want to have no icons on the desktop
while Active Desktop is enabled. I can remove everything but the
recycle bin. If I hide that, the only thing I can do with the desktop
is change colors. No pictures or html files will display. Anyone know
how to fix this?
Many thanks.

Hello Laura,

Sure you can ...

Simply right click on the desktop and simply select from
the menu:
- 'Arrange Icons by'
- Uncheck 'Show Desktop Icons'

If you need to correspond further, I have created a
temporary email address you can contact me at:

(e-mail address removed)

Sincerely,

How simple! I had tried every other method imaginable and just assumed
that the obvious wouldn't work either!
Thanks.
