I followed Hans' directions and got very similar results (same checked boxes) displayed a bit differently but I could not get a ss because the popups disappear when FastStone Capture is activated and the capture icon pressed.

FWIW: Here is a ss of the first screen presented when I right-click on the desktop and choose Personalize and before choosing Change Desktop Icons.
