Removing Icons from Desktop

Is it possible to have a clear view of background wallpaper without any icons?

How do you remove My Computer, My Network Places and the Trash Can from the desktop?

Re: Removing Icons from Desktop

Just click on the icon and drag it down to the bottom toolbar, the bar across the bottom.

regards~

Re: Removing Icons from Desktop

An even easier way is:-

Right-Click anywhere on your desktop
Select 'Arrange Icons By'
Select 'Show Desktop Icons'

This will then hide them all, to reveal them again, just repeat the steps again.
