The easy way is to rght click on the iconand choose delete or move to trash.
I installed Knoppix 3.4.Whenever I log into a normal user (not root), an icon for every drive/partition I have shows up on the Desktop. I am running the newest version of KDE. I would like to get rid of these icons, and have them not show up everytime I login. Is trhere any way I can do this?

That doesxn't work. As soon as I restart/shutdown and log back in, the icons are still there.
Right click on the desktop then choose Configure Desktop from the popup menu and when the dialog opens up choose the Behavior selection then General tab now uncheck the Show icons on desktop then apply the changes.Originally Posted by GuyLeDouche
Last but not least, you can open a console window and run midnight commander. Navigate to /home/youruseraccount/.kde/autostart and delete the sortcions file. The file keeps bringing back the icons you thought you blew away every time you logout or reboot into kde.

This works, but then no icons show up and I can't add any.Right click on the desktop then choose Configure Desktop from the popup menu and when the dialog opens up choose the Behavior selection then General tab now uncheck the Show icons on desktop then apply the changes.
There is no sorticons filehome/youruseraccount/.kde/autostart and delete the sortcions file
From the Configure Desktop -> Behavior -> Device Icons tab, is the show device icons box unchecked?
I made sure to uncheck "show device icons".
I guess you installed the knoppix-way, not debian, so /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig is recreating your icons all the time...
I did install the Knoppix way. Can I just get rid of that file/edit it?
