This question is no biggie I guess...but I've got to ask...

The "to do list" icon does not appear on my homescreen. I did it the right way, ticked the box and all..it just isn't there:smileysad: any suggestions? TNX

I might be wrong, but I think OP is talking about Desktop and OneDrive Protected Folders. If so, Desktop folder icon in File Explorer > This PC will show OneDrive's cloud-like icon:





Do the following to change it:

Right click OneDrive icon in notification area:





A small pop-up window opens. Select Settings:





Settings will open. Under Auto-save tab, select Update folders:





Click Stop protecting:





Confirm:





That's it. Your desktop is now empty, OneDrive desktop no longer shown and you can put anything you want to on desktop.
