| So the "remove Control Panel icon in My Computer on Windows 2000" was a no-go.
Here's my next quest...
How do I remove "Scheduled Tasks" from "My Computer" on Windows 98, without losing the ability to open Task Scheduler?
Removing Web Folders and Printers was easy. I create a namespace for them in "Explorer\MyComputer" and then put a value "Attributes" in them and give them the data needed so they would be hidden. This also worked for Scheduled Tasks, but with that nasty side effect.
Second... Is there any way to "kill the explorer process" on Windows 98? I need to edit the data of StuckRects but Windows won't accept any change to it unless the explorer process is killed. BTW, it has to be a command line utility.

| Interesting. I think I have a copy of KILL.EXE lying around somewhere. Just didn't think of trying it out.
I tried to use PSKILL.EXE which of course only works on NT systems.
Thanks... I'll post back once I can log out of Windows 2000 (editing a video).

| No idea... but I'll try that too.
(PSKILL.EXE doesn't need a switch)

| No luck so far. The KILL.EXE I had is looking for some file called NTDLL.DLL (or something like that). Then I found a German version of KILL.EXE which supposedly works in all versions of Windows but it doesn't kill anything.
Still trying....

| LOL
I got it to working. I first used the switch at the end of the line instead of right after KILL.EXE... 
But your version is in English so thanks anyway.
Still another thing: how do I close the DOS box afterwards? This seems to be a problem on Windows 98. I've already tried putting "close" and "quit" on the last line.

| Meant to say I tried that one too. Doesn't work either.
This is the content of the batch file:
FILES\KILL.EXE /f explorer.exe
regedit /s FILES\small.reg
start explorer.exe
exit
