If you are using the XP style start menu
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel\
if working with the classic menu:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMe nu\
Inside, Make new DWORD-Value with the name "{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}" & 'Modify' Value "1"

To restore the desktop icon again, just 'Modify' the same DWORD-Value to "0"
