To remove the InBox from your desktop, without needing to run the Policy Editor:
Start Regedit
N
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ explorer \ Desktop
\ NameSpace
Below that should be a few keys
O
Rename the key {00020D75-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}. I usually put another character before or
after the curly braces.
Restart Windows and the InBox icon should be gone
You can do the same for any other items you don't to show such as the Recycle Bin or The Internet icons
R
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit USER.EXE and replace the flag icons with the icon of your choice
Boot to DOS

an internal error..." is the same.
