  1. I'm looking for a tool replacing desktop icons functionality


    Hey there, I'm curios did anyone knows some application that I could run and maintain here different tiled apps shortcuts / folders and files like typical windows desktop but inside the app? And which maybe will have some separation (or tabs) splitted by apps types? Maybe something vaguely reminiscent of Heimdall but non-web based? Kind of handy apps launcher..

  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.

    How do I remove the "Network Connections" and "Administrative Tools" Icons from desktop?

    Hi Kyle,

    There are two ways to remove desktop icons on your Windows 10 device. It can be from the desktop context menu or desktop icon settings. Since you mentioned that what you want to remove are Network Connections and Administrative Tools icons, the best step
    that you can try is to remove it via desktop icon settings. Here are the steps:

    • Open Settings.
    • Select Themes and look for Desktop icon settings.
    • Deselect the desktop icons that you want to remove (i.e. Network Connections and Administrative Tools).
    • Click Apply, then OK.

    Feel free to contact us if you have further inquiries.
