Removing Icons from the Desktop "Cleaning House" |
Do you have icons on your desktop that you never use? As much as I love AOL, it is notorious for slapping several extra icons on the desktop when it's installed. If you'd like to "clean house" and get rid of all of those extras, here's how. Remember, you're only removing the icon, not installing the program that goes with it. First, make sure you know what the icon does. If you're not sure, double click the icon and see what program starts. When you're sure of what it is, close the program and proceed. RIGHT click the icon you want to remove. A shortcut menu will appear. LEFT click Delete. You will be asked if you're sure you want to remove the icon. LEFT click Yes and it will be gone. Hint: If you accidentally move your mouse when you click the icon, you will see a different shortcut menu. Press the ESC button in the top left corner of your keyboard to get rid of this shortcut menu and try again. If you have my book, Taming Your Computer -- The Simple Basics, this tip is on page 14.
