Re: Linux Mint 17 KDE Desktop Icons
I'm not totally familiar with KDE. But try "Desktop Settings" in Control Center. You can disable Computer, Home, Trash, etc. from here.

Tried the same solution. I was disappointed the linking applicaitons showed in the plasmoid folder and on Desktop - the "Desktop" keeps record of links as well as the desktop image itself. To overcome this I made a new directory, named it "mydesktop" and connected its view to the plasmoid. All seem well now.milpat wrote:Thank you very much to both of you.

My OS is linuxmint-17-KDE-64bit, which appears to be the same as Pat's. Of course there is linuxmint-17-mate-64bit, which allows the user to swap from gnome like desktop to KDE and back. There are differences between "linuxmint-17-KDE-64bit" and "linuxmint-17-mate-64bit with KDE desktop".

OldAl.
I just noticed that I omited a little detail and I am very sorry about it. The layout I choosed from the 'Desktop Settings' was 'Default Desktop' ond not 'Folder'. With this layout, the link disapear form the desktop itself.
Sorry about that.
