Updated: April 14, 2022
Quick overview:

Haben Sie ein schönes Hintergrundbild und finden Sie, dass die Symbole den Gesamteindruck nur stören? Mit ein paar kleinen ungefährlichen Eingriffen ins System kann ihr Windows schon bald so aussehen:

To do this, you need to go through the following instructions step by step:

1. Klicken sie hier um sich das Windows Tweaks TransDesk XP Paket herunterzuladen. Nachdem sie es über die in Windows integrierte ZIP Funktion entpackt haben stehen ihnen 3 Dateien in dem neu geschaffenen Ordner zur Verfügung.

2. Markieren sie die Datei Transicon.icl und drücken sie STRG+C. Doppelklicken sie nun unter Arbeitsplatz auf das Laufwerk, wo ihr Windows XP installiert ist. Öffnen sie nun den Windowsordner und drücken sie STRG+V um die Datei dort hinein zu kopieren. Nachdem sich die Datei im Windowsordner befindet können sie in den TransDesk XP Ordner wechseln.

3. Double-click here on the file Transparent desktop and confirm successively with Yes and then with Ok.

.

This file causes the new transicon icon to be used for the My Computer, My Documents, Recycle Bin and Network Neighborhood icons. It also removes the arrows from the shortcuts. The changes are already visible after a restart. To undo these changes, simply click on the file Normal Desktop and everything will be as it was before.

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in 2001, his helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write for international publications such as PC-Praxis, Computerbild, PCWorld in the USA, IMTEST.de and Hifi.de. Sandro's main job is as Global Product Marketing Lead and Consultant for various global tech companies, including Microsoft, AVG, Avast, Nero, TeamViewer, Swiss IT Security Group and now currently in the fintech sector for Gendigital. But he can't get rid of his passion and shares his tweaks here again. Privately, he enjoys traveling the world and loves Asia, especially Japan, Singapore and Korea, but also natural places like Iceland and the Nordics. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
