  1. Desktop icons settings


    I like to place a Computer / This PC on my desktop. one of my main reasons for this is the ability to right click the icon to access Manage.

    For some unknown reason, while Manage is still on the the right click menu, nothing happens when I click on it.

    Any ideas?

    :)

  2. 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.
