From Microsoft
"By default, the Show Desktop Icons feature is turned on
for clean installations of Windows XP, but the Recycle
Bin is the only icon that is put on the desktop. By
default, the My Computer, My Network Places, Internet
Explorer, and My Documents icons are no longer put on the
desktop for clean installations or upgrades-00107"

Can anyone tell me how to override this. I configure
machines for multiple users and I am not always around to
go in "customize Desktop" and turn them on.
 
Hi,

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
Desktop\NameSpace]

Use as an example:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Deskt
op\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}]
@="Recycle Bin"

For each additional one wanted add the CLSID after NameSpace and the @=
