Windows XP provides a special method for hiding icons under Other in My Computer.
To hide an icon under Other in My Computer:
1. Use the Registry Editor to navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideMyComputerIcons
2. For each My Computer icon that you wish to hide, Add a Value Name of the Class ID, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\\{Class ID\}, as a REG_DWORD data type, and set the data value to 1.
3. Use View / Refresh to see the effect of your change.
NOTE: You can use the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
NOTE: See tip 5976 and links for some of the common Class IDs.
