    Icon and Multiple Desktop questions


    Hello,I have Windows 11 Pro and my main desktop is full of icons 300-500.I would like to know if I created Another Desktop could I move some icons to the other desktop?I would like to have Games on 1 Desktop, Business Programs on 1 Desktop, Video and tech software on another.I end up adding about 10 icons a week to current desktop and it is a real pain in the butt to have so many icons on one desktop.ThanksGren

    :)

  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.
