Topic: Add/Remove Icons, how do i add icons to my desktop?< Next Oldest | Next Newest >

Shortly after installing DSL to my HD, i removed several icons from the desktop that i thought i wouldn't need.  Later, i decided to Re-Add an icon that i originally erased.  I was able to do it successfully with the icon tool, but the changes i make are erased once i logout.  How do i make the icon changes permanant?

DSL is exactly what i was looking for to breathe life into an 8yr old laptop that was given to me.  2mo ago, i didn't know anything about linux at all.  Now i don't think i ever want to use a MS operating system again.  there sure is a lot to learn though.

Thanks for everyone's help.

You can always start fresh by copying /etc/skel/.xtdesktop
This is what happens you you first start using DSL.

Or you can go in the .xtdesktop directory and look at the files. I believe I just renamed them by adding a .hide extension.

ok.  I was able to view the .xtdesktop in the terminal but being as new to linux as i am, i am unable to figure out how to edit the info i see.  Does anyone know where i can find a list of all the commands in bash?  All of the "how tos" i have found seem to be beyond me.
