Skrommel wrote a small programYes, I tried that one too, but didn't understand it. Skrommel writes: "Hide the desktop icons when the mouse is elsewhere." "Elsewhere" is "on the sys-tray toolbar..." This message area toolbar (what is the correct term?) is 28 pixels high (Win2K), and my screen is 768 pixels - and the icons will display whenever the mouse is at the remaining 740 pixels out of 768. So maybe it should say: "see if you can hide the desktop icons."-Deozaan (January 03, 2007, 02:07 PM)
What's running gives you info on everything that's running!!: processes, services, modules, ip connections, drivers, startup and gives you system info. It allows you to, stop, start, delete, disable, edit( process priority as an example).-jacquesrober (January 04, 2007, 03:30 PM)
, but see http://tech.groups.y...ftware/message/15895 over at the Software Killer Apps forum for a discussion of when such applications are beneficial and at what point (in terms of hardware) they cease to be useful...- interesting debate at SKA-forum, but I don't think StartRight was ever about making the PC upstart faster, but safer - and that is why I use it. Before, 3 or 4 programs would not display their icons in the sys-tray, because of too many programs fighting each other at Windows upstart, but StartRight fixed that problem.-Darwin (January 04, 2007, 11:36 AM)
Nice description of the free program I use:
I think a far more practical GUI would facilitate:
1. Sorting the programs in the order that you want them to start.
2. Adding a delay time that represents the period the system must wait before starting the next program. This is because programs hog the CPU for varying periods. You can measure (& change) the time it takes a program to finish starting & not worry about clashing with other programs in the startup list.-skywalka (July 25, 2006, 02:05 AM)
... My problem is that ... the icons will display for a second hundred of times a day.IconDesk too will display the icons for a second every now and then, mostly now...-Curt (January 01, 2007, 04:46 AM)

But I still need to understand what I am doing wrong, since Win2K will not remember the new toolbar after restart.-Curt (December 15, 2006, 06:55 PM)
Actually, I use the "WallMaster" wallpaper manager and I'm pretty sure it has a feature to hide the desktop icons, even when not using XP.-thefritz_j (December 15, 2006, 05:11 PM)
Yes, it will hide the icons in Win2K as well
- but it will not remember this setting after startup!-Curt (December 15, 2006, 06:07 PM)

won't work because you don't have winxp. let's see.
If that option is missing, there's no way you can do this..-jgpaiva (December 15, 2006, 03:34 PM)
you can also place that bar on the left or on the right of the screen, where it won't affect the buttons on the caption on the windows.Yes, I have done that with the new toolbars, one for My Documents, and one for My Pictures. It's a little funny with a toolbar on every side of the screen, but someday I might grow up...-jgpaiva (December 15, 2006, 02:48 PM)
I hide my the icons on my desktop so i can enjoy my wallpaper!
If the toolbar you add is the "Desktop" then icons for -every item- will show up in the toolbar. It's like having an auto-hide copy of your desktop! It is so useful! especially considering it's already built in to Windows!-thefritz_j (December 15, 2006, 01:00 PM)
Windows is pretty good software!-thefritz_j (December 15, 2006, 01:30 PM)
