    Why the desktop icons not shown


    The Registry keys located on "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace"
    mean that can show icon on desktop, please view the document below
    Configuring Windows Explorer - Desktop Icons
    Now i created a dummy class id {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} on this key, then show the desktop, press F5 and see the blank icon item shown on desktop. I want to know there are many keys on "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace", why these key will not show their icons on desktop? thank you

    If you want to see icons on your desktop, just right-click the desktop, choose Personalization and click Change Desktop Icons, and then check each icon you want to show.
