Tweak UI can do the same thing for Win 98, ME and XP for those who dont want to hack the registry.

I would never consider this a hack, as nothing in the original program code has changed.
More a mod...     Tweakui is a great program for those who dont like changing things manually.

............or, if you're using WinXP, you could just rightclick on the desktop -> "Arainge Icons By" -> Uncheck "Show Desktop Icons"

Problem solved.

There is also a reghack you can run that will give you an option to show or hide the recycle bin on the desktop in Folder Options, View.

I don't have it on me, but can get it if anyone is interested.
