  1. Is there an app to organize your icons in the desktop like folders on Android?


    I've been looking for a desktop organizer that let me organize my icons like you would do in a Android phone. Like, putting your icons in a folder, and upon hovering on it it would expand, and removing the mouse would minimize it, is there such a thing?

  2. Desktop folder suddenly organized like a music folder

    My desktop folder has switched to being organized like a music folder. Since the customize tab is not available for the desktop folder, how do I switch this back? I'm on Windows 10 Enterprise Version 1803 build 17134.472, if that is relevant.

  3. Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.

    Desktop folder stuck with an "empty folder" icon

    That sounded like the solution but actually it didn't work at all.

    I solved in another way, and NOTHING else worked (I've been trying for weeks):

    1. Rename your desktop folder, something like "olddesktop";
    2. Create a new folder called "Desktop";
    3. Apply the Desktop icon stored in imageres.dll (the folder behind the desktop will appear automatically with the imageres.dll icon, the SHELL32.dll icon is just the desktop with no folder behind);
    4. Right-click the old folder and use the "Path" tab to move its content to the new folder;
    5. Delete the "olddesktop" folder;
    6. Refresh your user folder with the F5 key.
