I might need a little more information here. I assume you are using KDE as your desktop environment, when you say myComputer are you talking about the Home icon, or something else (sorry I haven't used KDE in a little while here). What exactly happens when you click on it? As for the SuSE icon, I suspect that it is just a bookmark for their website, you could probably delete it. You should be able to create a new bookmark in Konqueror and drag it onto the desktop. Any *.desktop file is just a text file, so you can open it in any text editor. There should be a line in the file that says "Type=". If the file is supposed to launch an application it would read "Type=Application". One thing you can do is create a new user and see how their default desktop compares to your current setup. Another way of making a file that will launch an application or website is to open a text editor and make a file that looks something like this: #!/bin/sh mozilla http://www.suse.com/ exit 0 This script will open the suse website in the mozilla web browser. Save the file to the Desktop and then make it executable with a command such as: chmod u+x ~/Desktop/SuSE I hope this helps a bit.
