Other people do notice a change, and yet others think they do, so, should you have the CLSID there, it certainly can't hurt to experiment with removing it.

You can even effectively disable it without removing it by inserting a minus sign in front of it so that it looks like this:

Well, it worked for me and I know it worked for others not saying your going to get T-3 line speed with a 56k modem, but as I posted what this does it speaks for itself. As for the people who get delusioned into thinking they got an improvement, well at least they're happy.

It's the Windows object CLSID for 'Printers'.
I suggest you leave it there.

Good question: I'm not sure, which is exactly why I advised you to leave it alone.

Something to do with printers and Remote Computers, I guess.

I wish it would.

We already knew what the CLSID stood for, and the reason for its presence in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Deskt op\NameSpace etcetera is clear.

What we were wondering is what it was doing in the RemoteComputer subkey.The article doesn't shed any light on that, unfortunately.

Let me see if I can shed some light on this;

This tweak allows you to control which icons are visible on your desktop. By modifying the desktop namespace you can add and remove special icons including My Computer, Inbox and Recycle Bin.

Description CLSID
Administrative Tools {D20EA4E1-3957-11d2-A40B-0C5020524153}
Briefcase {85BBD92O-42A0-1O69-A2E4-08002B30309D}
Control Panel {21EC2O2O-3AEA-1O69-A2DD-08002b30309d}
Fonts {D20EA4E1-3957-11d2-A40B-0C5020524152}
History {FF393560-C2A7-11CF-BFF4-444553540000}
Inbox {00020D75-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
Microsoft Network {00028B00-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
My Computer {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
My Documents {450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}
Network Computers {1f4de370-d627-11d1-ba4f-00a0c91eedba}
Network Connections {7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}
Printers and Faxes {2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}
Programs Folder {7be9d83c-a729-4d97-b5a7-1b7313c39e0a}
Recycle Bin {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
Scanners and Cameras {E211B736-43FD-11D1-9EFB-0000F8757FCD}
Scheduled Tasks {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}
Start Menu Folder {48e7caab-b918-4e58-a94d-505519c795dc}
Temporary Internet Files {7BD29E00-76C1-11CF-9DD0-00A0C9034933}
Web Folders {BDEADF00-C265-11d0-BCED-00A0C90AB50F}


*Note: Not all icons can be successfully placed on your desktop. Right-click on the icon to display the options available

Registry Settings
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace]


*Note: Modifying the registry can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Use the information provided at your own risk.

Hope this sheds the light alittle better.
