Is there a registry edit that will eliminate the Desktop
Cleanup option from XP?
 
Jeff;
There probably is, but I don't know it. I searched my Registry and didn't
find anything. Would this help? Right click a blank area of the
Desktop/Properties/Desktop tab/Customize Desktop button/UNCheck: "Run Desktop
Cleanup Wizard every 60 days"/OK/OK.
 
Desktop Cleanup Wizard - Disable

Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio
n\ Explorer\Desktop\CleanupWiz. Value Name: NoRun, Data
Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value), Value Data: (0 = enabled,
1= disable wizard).

Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value,
called 'NoRun' and edit the value according to the
settings above. Exit your registry, you may need to
restart or log out of Windows for the change to take
effect.

No wonder I didn't find anything, I was searching for Cleanup Wizard, not
CleanupWiz.
Following the advice in my post, creates >>
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\Cle
anupWiz
NoRun REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)
