forgot, you will also have to restart explorer.exe (if you don't know how, a restart or log on and off will do it too)

go to line 246, left hand side. right click and save link as. save it to your desktop, and make sure once its saves it doesn't have .txt at the end. open it and say yes to merg with the registry. you should now have the show desktop icons option

Hah. I have seen this option before. For whatever reason, I don't have it now. I had it before formatting my PC. I have NO idea what makes it appear or not, lol. So strange. Oh well.

if you're trying to turn your desktop icons ON but the properties menu doesn't appear when you right click the desktop, try this:

On step number 1, you say right click on your desktop. What does that mean? There is no desktop icon, just the front page where all the icons are located. Tell me specifically how and where to find the “desktop” so I can right click it
