Sometimes the user is not satisfied with the number and set of shortcuts on the desktop, especially if the computer is not used as a permanent workstation. You can remove any of them, although some will require additional effort.
Instructions
Step 1
You can remove almost all shortcuts (except for the "Trash") from the desktop in the simplest way: by right-clicking on the shortcut and selecting "delete". You can do the same with any file on your desktop.
Step 2
You cannot delete the "trash" in this way, it simply will not have the "delete" item in the context menu. To remove it, you will need to perform a few simple steps.
Step 3
Click Start, then Run. In the line that appears, enter "gpedit.msc" (without the quotes). The Local Group Policy Editor will open.
Step 4
On the left side of the window, under User Configuration, select Administrative Templates and then Desktop.
Step 5
In the right part of the window, find the item "Remove the trash can icon from the desktop", double-click on it and set the "enable" option.
