Hide Desktop Icons

B

Bruce Hagen

Win7 Ultimate upgraded from Vista Ultimate. On the Desktop, there are two
icons I would like to lose. Libraries & Homegroup. I /think/ I found
Libraries in C Drive. My intention was to mark it as Hidden to see if that
worked, but that already was checked. There is no Right Click | Properties,
so the exact location eludes me.

Anyone have any tricks to make these two icons disappear?

right click on the desktop - choose un-tick "show desktop icons". This
removes all of them. If you right click one of your two said icons do you
not get "show file location"? If you do you can simply delete the desktop
shortcuts.
