I'm new to Vista.

I like to hide my desktop icons and therefore have show desktop icons unchecked. However, every time I restart the computer the icons are back on my desktop.

The weird thing is that the show desktop icons is still unchecked even though the icons are on the desktop. I have to check it again and uncheck it to hide the icons again.

Never had this problem with Win98 or XP.

How do I keep my Icons from comming back every time I reboot?

Thanks,
Tom

has anyone come up with a solution for this? i'm running Win7 and am having a similar problem. when i hide the icons on the desktop, they reappear after a restart. only difference is "show desktop icons" is actually checked like i never unchecked it.
