make sure your explorer sint corup or replace from the back up file x]

Rofl, you sound like an idiot. (No offence)
If you don't advise it, why should he do it xD. Explorer wouldent be corrupt becasue it would say that "This file you are trying to run is corrupt"

If explorer has a higher priority, the problem is that it will slow the computer down to a crawl.

Wud not duel core take over that. Have 50% of one core for explorer while doin the icon thing and rest for other programs, then have it set to default back wen ur doing getting rid of ur icons. I tried making icons go away, was slow 1st did it, but after did it in a instant.

Also, what operating system are you running? If you're running XP Pro, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate you would be able to disable desktop icons through the Group Policy editor (gpedit.msc).

I'm running XP Pro, please give me some more information about how to disable it trough gpedit. :)

Run gpedit.msc via taskmgr.

User -> Administrative Templates -> Desktop,
Double-click 'Hide and disable all items on desktop' (should be right at the top under two folders), and click 'Enable' in the properties box.

You should have to restart in order for this to take effect.

So why in gods name dont you just remove all the icons by either dragging them into your taskbar, or jsut deleting them? hell, stick them in a folder and move the folder under the C: or something.. whatever your doing to 'make your desktop clear' is wrong.

I always move the items I don't need from the start menu into a hidden folder so they don't show up, and move all the applications I do use from their folders to the actual 'Programs' folder so I just have a single menu to choose applications from when I use the start menu. Looks very clean, but annoying to keep organized when installing new apps.

Only items I have on my desktop are My Computer, My Documents, Network, Control Panel, and Recycle Bin. :)

Suppose it will make ur PC faster though. And save some RAM up.
