G+_George Kozi Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Originally shared by George Kozi I wish Microsoft would stop being so bloody idiotically stubborn and let me decide what I want to see on my machine and what I don't. Now they put a "Homegroup" icon on my desktop that I can't remove, or move. I never use that thing, and yet, they want me to always look at it.

G+_Craig Lambert Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 You can remove it and the library icon by deleting a couple registry keys. It's pretty easy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 yeah... however in a mass marketed consumer product, one should not have to mess with things like the registry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Randy Hudson Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Where is this happening? I am not seeing this anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 On the desktop. There is a simple fix though... hit refresh and it goes away... sometimes the most obvious solutions are the most difficult to think of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Randy Hudson Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I have 2 installations of Window 8.1 (update 1 installed) here in front of me now. I never noticed either of these icons. I don't know if they were ever there and I "refreshed" them away or what. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 This morning when I started the PC it updated something... it was probably related to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
