Click to expand...

Does that apply to xp home cos i know xp pro does do that automatically but i dont think Home ed has that option - shame its a really good feature i miss:(
 
The only way around it is to manually do it, by creating a folder on desktop call it desktop icons & click & drag each icon into the folder so that your not used a lot icons are hidden [will test that out for you all cos im so kind] lol:D & if it dont work then i can let you know hehehehe:p

IT WORKS !!!!! :D

So there you go & you can change icon design if you go into properties of the new folder you set up >> change icon & will bring up loads of icons to choose from rather than the standard boring folder - a great way of tidying up your desktop:D:Banane13:

Right, I knew this was available under Home edition

Right click your desktop, select properties
Click teh 'Desktop' tab and then the 'Customise desktop'

there you will find a tickbox for 'Desktop Cleanup'

Theres even a button to run it now.
