Remove Inbox from the Desktop

Druid628 :: Tech Tips :: Inbox Removal

	Have you ever been bothered by that nasty little inbox icon on your desktop? Especially after you first load a machine it is always there and you can not really seem to be rid of it. Now you can find out how :-)

First things first open your registry editor and locate this string and remove it.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ explorer\ Desktop\ NameSpace\00020D75-0000-0000-C000-000000000046

If you need to do this for a mass number of PC's and want to create a reg file to use it should look something like this (but all as one line): REGEDIT4 -[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\ Desktop\NameSpace\{00020D75-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
Then go back to your desktop and refresh that bad boy (by pressing F5 or right clicking and selecting refresh) and watch that inbox go bye-bye
