Add or Remove Default Desktop Icons in Windows 10  

Thanks. I may mark this for later use, but right now these are my little obsessive one-time tweaks after imaging a PC to make my life a little easier.

You can also use:

desk.cpl ,5

instead of

rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,0

I tried the Add_This-PC_Desktop_Icon.reg tweak but I have not had any luck with it (Windows 10 1803 build)

I was hoping to use this tweak on a sysprepped image so that new domain users could have This PC on their desktop by default.

Thank you. The registry tweak does work on the profile on which it is run -- but not on subsequent profiles.

I was creating a generalized sysprep, so when after joining the domain and having a user to log in to it for the first time, they don't get the This PC shortcut on their desktop (but it is under administrator, which is the profile I ran the registry on).

I upgraded the last (Fujitsu laptop) computer to Windows 10 Pro yesterday and am having only a few issues. All of my personal desktop icons came over just fine. However, the Recycle Bin icon was among the missing. I worked through option 1 in the tutorial. At "Desktop Icon settings" the Recycle Bin icon was already checked. I checked "Computer" and "Control Panel" (Yay!), and in the box below I highlighted "This PC". Then selected "Allow themes to change..." and "Ok"

The result was that I got icons for Computer and Control Panel, but not for Recycle Bin and This PC.

I read the comments above. I tried F5, then I restarted. No change.

What now?

Will try that Brink, thank you.
