  I believe you can enable/disable the various icons using the .reg file below where 0x00000001 represents the icon is invisible and 0x00000000 represents a visible icon.
```
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00



[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerHideDesktopIconsNewStartPanel]

"{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000

"{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}"=dword:00000000

"{F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C}"=dword:00000001

"{5399E694-6CE5-4D6C-8FCE-1D8870FDCBA0}"=dword:00000001

"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000000
```
  You can lookup the classid’s in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID.
  
  Didn’t test it, but by looking at the Process Monitor output and refreshing the registry after applying the settings, this should be the location in the registry.
  
  Good luck! 🙂
