  1. OneDrive removed all of my desktop icons, what should I do?


    I had a pretty big video file, and filled up my OneDrive storage and it stopped backing things up. After I longer needed the file, I deleted it cause I didn't need it. OneDrive started backing up again, then a few days later, all most all of my desktop icons had turned into blank icons. The shortcuts didn't disappear, I could still use the shortcuts, but all the icons disappeared on most of the apps. The apps that didn't have an icon appeared as "Internet Shortcuts" in the Desktop Folder. I did some research how to get it back and I thought maybe stopping sync between my desktop and OneDrive w

    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.

  3. 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.

    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 OneDrive removed all of my desktop icons, what should I do? :( ).
    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?
