  1. How can I remove only a couple icons from my desktop without removing all?


    I have some important folders and I want to keep 2 of them on my desktop but not the other desktop icons. I want to remove those from my desktop but leave 2. They also don't show up in my desktop folder, just visibly on my desktop. Thanks

    :)

    Removing desktop icons

    the icons are located in 'all users' folder somewhere (for example, i see a few shared icons in "C:\Users\Public\Desktop" )

    The only way to fix those, is to remove the icons from there, and place them on to each users desktops manually. an admin may need to do this.

    Removing desktop icons

    I want to remove some Icons from my desktop, but Vista asks for Admin permission to continue (I'm not an admin *Frown How can I remove only a couple icons from my desktop without removing all? :( ).
    It seems that whenever I delete one of these icons from my desktop, it is also removed from all the other user accounts. For example, I deleted the Skype icon from my desktop, and it was then removed from everyone elses as well.
    How can I delete icons from my desktop only, without affecting anyone elses?
