Lesson 1 Configuring and Troubleshooting the Display
Figure 5-2 Use the Desktop Items dialog box to control what appears on your desktop.
To access the Desktop Items dialog box, on the Desktop tab, click Customize Desktop.
The Desktop Items dialog box allows you to include or exclude an icon for My Documents,
My Computer, My Network Places, and the Internet Explorer on your desktop,
as well as to customize the icons used to represent these items. You can also configure
the frequency with which the Desktop Cleanup Wizard runs. The default setting for
running the Desktop Cleanup Wizard is every 60 days. Click Clean Desktop Now to
run the Desktop Cleanup Wizard immediately. The Desktop Cleanup Wizard removes
icons from the desktop that have not been used in the last 60 days, but it does not
remove any programs from your computer.
To include Web content on your desktop, in the Desktop Items dialog box, click the
Web tab. Any Web page listed in the Web Pages text box can be included on your
desktop by selecting it. Click New to add a Web page and click Delete to remove a
Web page from the list. Click Properties to view the Properties dialog box for the Web
page. The Properties dialog box allows you to make the Web page available offline,
synchronize immediately or schedule the synchronization of this offline Web page with
the content on the Internet, and specify whether you want Internet Explorer to download
more than just the top-level page of this Web site.
Note If you want Internet Explorer to download more than just the top-level page, you can
specify up to three levels deep, but specifying three levels deep downloads all the pages
linked to the second-level pages. This process can quickly result in hundreds of pages,
depending on how many links are on each page.
