  1. Desktop Icons


    I want to change the background of the Icons in Windows 10 Desktop.

    And also want the classic start menu which was grouped by category.

    If there's an option to group the Icons on the desktop, it would more better and neat and clean.


    If android can do this easily then why not wndows?


    I need these things a lot because I have a very little time. I also have a website and to maintain it, I need to save maximum time while working on my Windows. My website isIndianStudents.in . Please let me know if anyone has the solution or any Idea about that. Thanks

    :)

  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.
