microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize

Posted same issue in this Newsgroup March 30 after doing clean
install of XP Pro SP3. I didn't have Key No. mention in MS article
http://support.microsoft.com:80/kb/555849 and had to create the
key number as follows:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel

In the right hand pane, right click and select New > Dword Value.
Rename the new value 871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D
with a data value 0.
Close the registry editor and hit the F5 key to refresh the desktop.
