How to remove "My Computer", Network and other icons from desktop?

[Bo Berglund]

In WinXP there are configuration settings to get rid of the "My
Computer", "My Network Places" and "My Documents" links from the
desktop, but I cannot find how to do this in Win2000.

Is there a hidden place where this can be done?

I am preparing a Win2000 PC for my mother and I want to keep the
clutter on the desktop away as much as possible. Ideally she would
only need an Email, the Internet Explorer and a Connect to Internet
icon on the desktop. I want to remove all other non-needed links.
