And usually, whenever I install a program and it asks to put an icon on the desktop, I always tell it not to, since I've fairly recently discovered that having a cluttered desktop isn't a very good idea! Mark

Hi Raul,

Those icons are only shortcuts to the programs they launch and so forth.
Deleting one won't have any effect on the application or file it points to. 

Hope that helps.

    Could I ask how I can remove icons from my desktop without losing the
file or picture or whatever it is?

Raul
