Thanks, Graham. Maybe I need that but I was hoping that Windows had a
way of turning that stuff off. I don't need any icons, they make no
sense to me anyhow, never did, and probably never will.


You want the icons off the desktop completely? If they are links
(shortcuts to you Windows lusers), just delete them. The underlying
object isn't affected.

Note: Shortcuts can be configured to start applications with certain
environment variables set and command line options. You could lose that
configured behavior.


I still want the desktop access but get rid of the silly pictures. It just needs to say Spice or MS-Word etc.
