I was reading about removing icons in the forums and from what I understand I have to delete this from the xfiletool.lst:
Code Sample
.xtdesktop/*
.fluxbox/menu

When I delete these lines and reboot the icons are still on my desktop!
Even if I right click-->Desktop-->No Icons, and then backup, then reboot, they are still there.
What do I do?

Try editing your /home/dsl/.xinitrc file ..

Place this symbol -->  #  in front of these lines.

# if egrep -qv noicons /proc/cmdline 2>/dev/null; then
#   enhance &>/dev/null &
# fi

This is to "rem" them out, or to "remark" ..
It makes them present, but they don't execute..

If something is amiss, simply remove the "rem"'s to put it back like it was.

Remember to make a backup to have this file change persist.

Ok, so I did what you said, and yes, the icons are gone. Thank You!
The problem is that I've lost that monitoring bar at that is located at right hand side of the screen by default.
I tried adding "wmnet" to the bootlocal.sh file located in /opt, when I boot it doesn't open.
When I run the bootlocal.sh file in the terminal wmnet opens fine.
Am I putting the command in the wrong file?

Sorry for filling the forums, I figured it out! :O  :laugh:
I just made a script that starts all the monitoring apps and added it's location to the .xinitrc file.
Yay!  :D
