Tired of trying to find the My Computer icon on your desktop? This little tweak may help you out.
Tired of trying to find the My Computer icon on your desktop?Why not make it the first icon on your desktop? Thats right, it will be the one in the top left hand corner no matter what.
Not sure where I picked this one up. I remember using it when I got tired of the users putting thier My Computer icon all over the place. I rolled this into a logon script. They never saw it coming.
Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}
In the right pane find you should see an entry Titled SortOrderIndex . Right click on this entry and choose modify. Change the Decimal to 54. When you are done the entry should look like this:
SortOrderIndex REG_DWORD 0x00000054 (84)
Its as simple as that.
