But Vista insists on returning the actual folders to the desktop (they are not shortcuts). If I delete the desktop icon I lose the folder and its contents. Because of this I don't even use these folders and have created other folders for those purposes.Yet I have to contend with the folders returning. Some files automatically locate to the Desktop versions and I have to check them for content before I remove them each day. (1) I have tried Personalize/Change Desctop Icons and (2) Desktop Properties/Location -/C:\Users\my name\Desktop - when I change the address to my folder I am told that I can't relocate to a parent folder. None of these have worked. I am the administrator and indeed the only person that uses the computer. Oh how I yearn for my old XP I have the opposite problem.I have Vista and I don’t want the Documents,Pictures or Music icons on my desktop.
