hiding files on Desktop
 

Hi,

I am using Fedora Core 8 for last few days.
My problem is :

When I create any file in my home directory, it's icon is getting displayed on the Desktop.

How do I avoid from showing up of icons for all the files in my home directory on Desktop?

This was not happening on FC5 which I was using before this.

Or better still, can I choose to only appear icons on my Desktop for specific file types only (e.g. excel spreadsheets, image files etc.)?

This was not happening on FC5 which I was using before this.

I merged your posts into one thread, keep in mind for the future you are permitted to edit your posts here at LQ.

Put your documents in the Documents directory instead of the Desktop directory.

put period(.) in the start.
