    Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    Is there a way to remove the trash, computer, and home icons on the desktop in Fedora 13? I like a clean desktop and I don't use those icons.

    Desktop Icons have padlock symbol

    W10 21H1

    (Hope this is correct sub-forum)

    For the past month all new files I save to desktop have a padlock icon on top right, all files more than a month old do not have this.

    I can open, edit etc., without issue, but why is this happening. Is it to do with permissions …. I am owner & admin, this is a solo PC not part of any group.

    I have noticed that if I 'right-click' on files with the padlock ther is an option "File Ownership > personal" and personal shows an open 'blue lock symbol'

    If I select this symbol it then removes the 'padlock'
    So I'm guessing there is a glocal persmissions set wrongly somehere ?


    I did try a search here … found the following thread …. But when I go to RegEdit there is no entry for Shell Icons, so I followed step to put in new entry & string value ….. but it has made no difference
