thanx for your kindness
Right click on desktop, properties, in desktop tab, click customize. Uncheck network places.
I'm not 100% sure this will work cuz I am on XP, but it should be something like that.
Just right click on your desktop highlight active desktop and uncheck the option Show desktop icons and that will remove all icons from the desktop.
Forgot about this program called Tweakui

TweakUI 1.33 for Win95, Win98, WinME, Win2000
TweakUI (short for Tweak the User Interface) is a very useful program that Microsoft has written.
With the Tweak UI 1.33 update, you can adjust your Windows User Interface, including menu speed, window animation, automatic logon, several privacy settings and Microsoft Internet Explorer. TweakUI is available from the system Control Panel, just right click on the .INF file and select "install" (installation instructions)
If you have any questions about any of these programs, please write to us at [email protected]
Download TweakUI using the link below or visit our Shareware Page.
Download TweakUI 1.33 for Win95, Win98, WinME, Win2000
Installation of TweakUI v1.33:
1. Extract all of the files to a folder on your Hard Disk Drive (for example, C:\TweakUI)
2. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the folder that you extracted the files to and right click the 'inf' file (this is the file that looks like a spiral ring notebook with a yellow seal on the bottom right hand corner). When you right click the inf file, a context menu will appear that has an item called 'install'.
3. Click the 'install' option from the context menu and follow the directions on the screen.
4. If the installation program asks for the installation disks or files, then point the program to the folder which you extracted the files to.
Uninstalling TweakUI v1.33
The normal method for uninstalling TweakUI is to use the Add/Remove Program applet in the Control Panel. If for some reason this does not work, you may need to manually uninstall it using the following:
Search ALL your local drives/partitions and delete ALL TweakUI.* files from:
• %windir%\Help\TWEAKUI.CNT
• %windir%\Help\TWEAKUI.HLP
• %windir%\Help\TWEAKUI.GID [Hidden file]
• %windir%\Inf\TWEAKUI.INF
• %windir%\System\TWEAKUI.CPL [Win9x/ME only]
• %windir%\System32\TWEAKUI.CPL [WinNT4/2000/XP only].
•
Default %windir% folder is C:\Windows if using Win9x/2000/ME/XP or C:\Winnt if using WinNT4.
Windows Explorer may not be able to "see" and/or delete TWEAKUI.GID unless you "strip" it of its Hidden (H) attribute first by running this command from any DOS prompt: ATTRIB -H %windir%\HELP\TWEAKUI.GID
Make sure to delete also these 2 Registry String Values (if present) by using Regedit or Regedt32:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
"Tweak UI"="RUNDLL32.EXE TWEAKUI.CPL,TweakMeUp"
and:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
"Tweak UI"="RUNDLL32.EXE TWEAKUI.CPL,TweakLogon"
If ANY of these Registry Values are still present after deleting TWEAKUI.CPL, you will see this error dialog box next time you (re)start Windows:
"RUNDLL Error loading TWEAKUI.CPL.
The system cannot find the file specified."
This way all TweakUI traces should be permanently erased from your computer.
That should work.
