It's not too too hard to do so long as you're comfortable editing the
registry, try this site for the directions:

Hi

I got these (I think from either Doug Knox or Kelly's Korner, can't
remember which)& used one to hide the recycle bin on a standalone XP
system at work to prevent operators messing around.
Cut & paste the text into notepad, save as hidebin.reg then double
click to install.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu]
"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000001

Cut & paste into notepad & save as showbin.reg then double click to
install.
