    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.

    Desktop Icon Keeps On Moving

    I see. I was using a 23" monitor before and the highest resolution was below 1080p so I guess windows remembers that monitors resolution right? I have tried de.das.dude suggestion, but everytime I turn off the computer after arranging the icons it goes back to misarranging the icons.

    Why do all my Windows app icons have the paint.net icon? Have tried resetting the icon cache

    Safe way to rebuild icon cache in windows 8.1?

    Hi people, I've noticed the Task Scheduler icon on my desktop is "low quality"

    Why do all my Windows app icons have the paint.net icon? Have tried resetting the icon cache shortcut-task-scheduler-jpg.jpg

    Now I found this on the internet: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/rebuild-the-icon-cache-windows

    How to purge and rebuild the icon cache I would have to go to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local folder and delete the hidden IconCache.db file.

    Is this safe to do this?
    I don't want to mess up my system.

    Anyone tried this before on windows 8.1?

    Thanks!
