All I can say is that its a RUNDLL32.EXE function, but I can't figure out the command line to invoke the Cleanup Wizard. Maybe searching your registry for RunDLL32 will reveal something.

LOL worm, searching your registry for RunDLL32 would give you about 4,000,000 search results [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

4,000,002 to be exact. I did it, and still couldn't come up with the correct parameters [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/crazy.gif[/img]

Re: Desktop Clean Up Wizard

the commandline is:

"C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe" fldrclnr.dll,Wizard_RunDLL all

but that will just bring up the wizard, since you have to select which icons to remove there no real way for it to read your mind...but this should work for you

And just a Tip...
Copy that "fldrclnr.dll" from an XP machine and include it with your project,...at run time, copy it into a Windows 2000 system32 directory, and it will work for Win2k as well.

Re: Desktop Clean Up Wizard

Well, the desktop cleanup wizard ... not sure about that but maybe you would like to look at the "show desktop" fuction found in a quick launch link file

might help might not .. here ya go ..

[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop

if you can find an icon to the wizard try dropping it into a note-pad or other text editor. Might be surprised with what you find. I'm thinking probably not in your case you actually seem like you know these things already

I actually just personally don't see the value with the "Desktop Clean Up Wizard" . .. not into the mysterious auto managment services like that one especially with its undisclosed move/delete functionalities. Can't live without that silly show desktop icon/script though... great to have on any corner-space of your desktop that is accessable for the most part.
