If you want to show the door to the InBox, Recycle Bin, or Microsoft Network, here's how: Run REGEDIT and drill down through the layers to find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace. Click the plus sign (+) next to NameSpace to reveal several numeric fields. Clicking on any one of these will tell you what it is in the right window pane under the Data field. If you decide you really don't want the Inbox, for example, identify it, highlight its numeric string in the left pane, and press Delete.

You can always reinstall Microsoft Network or the Inbox later via the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs options, but you'd better be real sure about deleting the Recycle Bin. In the meantime, you can always make a shortcut to the Recycle Bin and put it in your SendTo folder for easy right-click access from anywhere.

Here's another nonhack way to remove the Network Neighborhood icon: via the Policy Editor. The Policy Editor is located on the Windows 95 CD under Admin\Apptools\Poledit. Read Poledit.txt for installation instructions. Once Policy Editor is installed, launch it and look under File|Open Registry|Local User|Shell|Restrictions. Put a check next to the "Hide Network Neighborhood" check box or even the "Hide All Items" check box.

WARNING!! This is a REGISTRY HACK! And as such, you MUST FIRST make a backup of your Registry so that you can recover from any mistakes you might make. The Registry is a very unforgiving place if you don't know EXACTLY what you are doing. An incorrect Registry entry can render your entire system INOPERABLE. DO NOT attempt to change Registry settings without a Backup. Don't say we didn't warn you...

The Configuration Backup Utility is one of the CD-Extras, so if you don't have the CD-ROM version of Windows 95, CLICK HERE to download it now.
