Hello there. I have 2 win 2k pc's both with Service pack 4.
One one pc, here's how I hide the desktop icons . . .

Right click on an empty portion of the desktop -- a menu
will appear ,Click on Active Desktop

Click on Show Desktop Icons (to uncheck this item).

Voila!

On another pc, when I click on "Active desktop", the only
choices are 1. customize my desktop 2. show web content 3.
new desktop.

Any ideas?
