This article is still written for myself as a reminder. Basically, Windows 11 needs to use this command. Originally, it was opened in Settings→Personalization→Theme→Desktop Icon Settings. Setting→Personalization→Scenery Theme→Desktop Icon Setting This function is to set and display commonly used icons on the desktop, which are hidden by Microsoft (Note 1), such as local machine (Note 2), console and network (Note 2 ). Note 1. Because they think you don’t need it, they want you to directly click the folder shortcut on the taskbar. Note 2. In the old version of Windows, it was called Computer (7) or My Computer (XP); the Internet was called Network Neighborhood (XP), so why do you need to memorize instructions? When Windows 11 is just installed, if the installation process is not connected to the Internet, this option can be adjusted. Once connected to the network, and Windows 11 is disabled for some reason (Note 3), this desktop icon setting will be grayed out and unusable. For me, a person who helps customers install new machines all day long It is very inconvenient to say that this phenomenon does not exist on Windows 10, and it can be adjusted whether it is enabled or not. Note 3 If the computer is a new machine and the serial number is not entered to enable it, the motherboard must be replaced due to maintenance. There are two ways to input commands: 1. Open CMD (command prompt character), input desk.cpl, desk.cpl is followed by a half-width comma. 2. Keyboard combination Win+R, open the execution dialog box, enter desk.cpl, the difference with 1. is that you need to add a blank following desk.cpl, and add a half-width comma, otherwise it will not be found Command error.
