You have unused icons on your desktop

This is about as welcome as Mr Paperclip used to be before I discovered how to kill him (XP).

Anyone know how to stop this one?

First get into the Control Panel (Start->Settings-Control Panel)

Click on Appearance and Themes

Click on Display

Click on the Desktop Tab, and see the button below “Customize Desktop”

Click on it

Now you can un-check the desktop cleanup wizard.

Don't have any icons on my desktop, they're all pinned to the task bar.
