Make sure that you have enabled "Save settings" on the Explorer

property page of Tweak UI. If "Save settings" is disabled, then Windows will

restore the desktop to its state the last time you shut down or
|

logged off Windows while the "Save settings" option was enabled.\par

|
|
{\b Consequences of hiding Network Neighborhood}\par
|
|
Since shell support for the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) notation
|
|
is handled by the Network Neighborhood, hiding the
|
|
Network Neighborhood icon will prevent Explorer from accessing resources
|
|
via UNCs. In order to access network resources from Explorer,
|
|
you need to map them to a drive letter. Note that
|
|
the MS-DOS command prompt and other applications are not affected by this
|
|
setting, because they do not use the Network Neighborhood to resolve UNCs.\par
|
|
In particular, hiding the Network Neighborhood prevents Direct Cable
|
|
Connection from displaying the contents of the host computer.
|
|
Aside from this, Direct Cable Connection functions normally.\par

|
|
{\b The Microsoft Network created as a file acts strangely}\par
|
|
The Microsoft Network was not designed to be created as a file,
|
|
although it mostly works.\par
|
|
The Microsoft Network assumes that
|
|
the only place its icon can possibly exist is on the desktop
|
|
as a special desktop icon. If you right-click the The Microsoft
|
|
Network icon-as-file, you will see two Delete commands.
|
|
The first Delete command (beneath
|
|
the "Send To" command) removes the The Microsoft Network special desktop
|
|
icon, {\i not} the created-as-file icon you right-clicked.
|
|
The second Delete command (beneath "Create Shortcut")
|
|
is the standard delete command which actually deletes the item
|
|
you clicked on. Neither actually uninstalls The Microsoft Network;
|
|
to do that, use the Add/Remove Programs icon in the Control Panel.
|
|
\par
|
|
{\b Workaround:} Do not use the first Delete command (beneath
|
|
the "Send To" command). Only use the second Delete command (beneath
|
|
"Create Shortcut").

Inbox was not designed to be created as a file,

|
although it mostly works.\par
|
|
When you ask to see its properties,
|
|
Inbox is unable to make its properties coexist with the
|
|
standard properties provided by Explorer, so it creates a
|
|
separate property dialog.
|
|
\par
|
|
{\b Workaround:} Ignore the extra property dialog.
