  1. Update Desktop Icon


    Hello,


    After a windows update an Icon appears on my desktop. Can these Icons be deleted without losing the update fix? They read: desktop.ini


    I have deleted them in the past, however, I'm now getting a warning not to delete. Can they be hidden?


    Rob

  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.

    • Click on view
    • Check the option auto arrange icons.
