I tried to upload mine but imageshack wouldn't work dry.gif

I really need to tidy my desktop, I have 65 icons on it. How do I tidy it up?
Oddball
Delete the ones you don't use! Or just go Right Click > Arrange Desktop Items > Uncheck the Show Desktop Items or whatever it is. And they all disappear biggrin.gif Sweep them under the mat!
nicki_flute
You did that to it last time, but it changed all the background and anything...

Can you delete shortcuts? Or will it delete the programme?
Oddball
Noo, deleting shortcuts is fine. You're only deleting that particular way of getting to it: I suppose it's a bit like destroying a road to a town: you might have to go out of your way to get to that town, but the town is still there, and accessible by other roads.
euph1
yes.......right click > delete > (a box will appear) delete shortcut.



if it doesnt say delete shortcut, then you can still delete the icon, and access the program through the start menu.





the only way you can delete a program is through add or remove programs

I have loads of pictures on mine because I never no exactly where my home folder is and so don't save them in there.

I had to use bebo again. I consoled myself by using someone else's account.

Due to a technical error, I appear to have accidentally uploaded the file 'screenshot-2.jpg' instead of 'snapshot-2.jpg'.

EDIT: Fixed now.

Your home folder would be /home/superpyroman or similar

I seem to have two folders, both called the home folder. I can find them each easily enough but it's annoying when I go to one and find that what I want is in the other by mistake.

Here is my Desktop - A picture of Jarkulsalon in Iceland - A glacial lake

It was frozen by the James Bond film makers to film the car chases from Die Annother Day on. - It was also used in annother Bond movie - but I've forgotten the name of it.
I took the picture on a field trip to Iceland this easter.

*Yes, I know I need to get out more...

I've taken off my toolbar of Geyes now. They were taking up too much space.

My desktop. My sister is always putting pictures of herself as the backgroud. Poser rolleyes.gif . So I always change it to something non-offending, like this one at the minute.
