[Resolved] Hiding My Network Places

[The Hobo]

What would be the easiest way to remove 'My Network Places' from the desktop?

I have no network and thus no Network Places and it would be nice to have one less Icon on my desktop.

Thanks in advance.

On 2k/XP

Display Properties, Desktop, Customize Desktop

And on 98/ME?

On 98/ME you go and stick in a 2k/XP cd, reboot, and reformat.

Acutally I dunno if it can be done on 98, but ME I vaguely remember that it can...in a manner which I have forgotten.

If you're willing to buy me a copy of 2k, I'll glady try this.

On the desktop of WinME, it's labeled "My Network Places", but the NoNetHood worked...so...yeah.

Thanks, again!

WinME likes to think it's new, but it's old.
