When I said all, i meant it =). No My Computer, No My Network Places, No Recycle Bin, nothing. My desktop is a blank grey screen. Its a little thing called Active Desktop, and it comes with IE =).

I have actually found it easier to work without my icons. I have a couple of shortcuts on my desktop(hidden, of course), with keyboard shortcuts on them... ctrl+alt+m for My Computer, ctrl+alt+c for C: drive, ctrl+alt+d for D: drive, ctrl+alt+w for winamp... and beyond that, its quick launch, auto hidden on the right side of my screen.
