#CAN T DELETE DESKTOP ICON WINDOWS#

There is just one drawback, that is, this operation will prevent all applications from accessing the desktop and personal library. So even if you restart the PC, you will no longer see the annoying WD Discovery icon However, the icon for this program remains on my desktop and I cannot remove it. The program wasnвЂ™t what I was expecting, so I deleted it. After enabling, add a desktop folder in it. I recently installed a program (Bears DeskSite) and in doing so, an icon was created on my desk top.

Find вЂњVirus & threat protectionвЂќ in Windows Defender, find вЂњManage SettingsвЂќ in the secondary menu, and scroll down to find вЂњManage controlled accessвЂќ. The principle is simple, it is to prevent WD Discovery from accessing the desktop folders. After some research, I found that Windows Defender can achieve an effective solutionвЂ¦ bat script to delete the created shortcuts instantly, but this does not last long. I have tried to use ResourceHacker to modify the built-in icons of kdd.exe (because I simply hate the icon of the My Cloud Home NAS, and try to replace it with an icon that is consistent with other icon styles), but SHA-1 makes it impossible to log in after the modification is successful My Cloud.

I deleted the file days ago and now left. I know where it came from, it was an invoice. I used to be like this, but because I want to change my desktop style recently, the automatic creation of shortcuts by WD Discovery also annoys me. Cannot delete desktop icon It is telling me that this file is open in system. I found a way under WindowsвЂ¦ If you simply want to empty the desktop, just click вЂњViewв†’Show desktop iconsвЂќ in the right-click menu on the desktop (suitable for geeks who like to imitate the MacOS desktop). Ps: my english is not so good, hope you understood everything I wrote Now it should not be visible on your desktop, If you wanna see it just click on В« show the hidden items В». Now click on OK to close this window (maybe you will get an advice or something, just approve it).Д¬lick Ok to close the other window and now you are back to the first window of В« Propreties В». (So the WD discovery App could acces to it but wonвЂ™t be able to erase the file) Select В« System В» then click on В« Edit В»Дeselect all the В« Basics permission В» except : В« Read and execute В» and В« Read В» Right click on В« Your Cloud В» icon (the one you want to remove) Then we will just hide the icon, so it wonвЂ™t be visible. So when you close WD Discovery it wonвЂ™t remove it. So what we want to do is to remove the permission of any app to delete the icon. (Wether or not you delete the icon or try to hide it, it reaperas at every start). This shorcut reappears because everytime you shut off your computer the WD app deletes the icon, then when you log on, the WD Discovery app creates a new one on your desktop.
