Unwanted messages in WinXP also in XPe?

[Peter Herijgers]

I want to use WinXP embedded in my applications but I am not sure about one
thing.
Can I expect the same behaviour as WinXP Home or Pro?
Sometims WinXP Home or Pro displays a message like 'you have unused icons on
your desktop'.
Can I also expect this to happen with XPe?

If yes, how can I get rid of it?

Peter.

Peter,

XP Embedded uses the same binaries as XP Pro. So the answer is yes, you can expect the same behavior of system components.

You mentioned messages that are part of the Explorer Shell. To turn them off look at the Explorer Shell policies (registry entries)
and "User Interface Core" component settings ("show notifications" options and etc.). Also read this tip:

Peter:

Use this to turn off the periodic Desktop Cleanup Wizard:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Deskto
p\CleanupWiz]
"NoRun"=dword:00000001

HTH... Doug
