Autostart Look inside the folders in Autostart and you will find lots of icons for applications that are not on your desktop. Like to have one or more on the desktop? Drab it from autostart to the desktop and select "Copy" from the window that pops up. Now it's ready to use with one click. Template Want to run your favorite command line application from a desktop icon? Drag the gear icon in Template to the desktop and select "Copy" (don't select "Move" or you will not be able to do this again.) Now right click on the gear and select "Properties" Input the requested information in the dialog box that appears, click on the gear icon that is inside the dialog box to select a new icon for your applicaton or executable script, select OK and you have a new application icon ready to use. I used it to create an icon for minicom, Midnight Commander (-c on) and a script I use with fetchmail. My recommendation then would be to keep them unless you are setting the machine up for a user and you don't want making changes easy for them.
