I have a fresh install of Mint 15 with Cinnamon and I can't find an option to hide all icons on the desktop. In settings->Desktop there are only options to show/hide the home folder, trash, etc, but no option to hide the contents of the "Desktop" folder.
How do I hide the $HOME
folder contents from appearing on the desktop in Linux Mint 15?
UPDATE:
It actually looks like the icons on the desktop are the contents of the $HOME
folder, not $HOME/Desktop
.
** Question was edited to reflect the fact that it was the user's home folder icons showing, not just "my computer", "trash", etc.
