On my newly installed CentOS 6 I am running KDE (I think; I selected it in the setup, but how would I know?). It has three default icons: Computer; Root's Home; Trash. I do not see them in /root/Desktop.
How can I remove them?
Thanks, Mike.

Only God would know...

Did you go look into the Desktop controls...? There must be something like "Show icons on desktop" somewhere... Or you could maybe google for something like: "kde hide desktop icons"...

Yes, I found the control. But it doesn't include the default icons.
I "solved" the problem with:
yum remove nautilus
But now, when I put a directory in /root/Desktop, it does not appear on the desktop.
I am now looking for a another file manager -- perhaps the one used in my older CentOS.

Since you seem to be using Gnome and not KDE, you can google for "gnome hide dekstop icons", and the first answer will tell you how to hide those system icons (gconf-editor). But first reinstall nautilus.

With the help of:
ps -ef | grep -i gnome ps -ef | grep -i kde
I determined that I am in fact running gnome. I am therefore reinstalling the system, selecting kde (as I did before) and deselecting (I hope) all gnome things. Thanks for your help.
Mike.
