[newbie] Changing/Deleting KDE Desktop Icons

[Art Rowe]

On Mandrake 6.0 KDE desktop, I can move icons into folders (eg:
updates to a Mandrake folder).
However, the original icons reappear on the main desktop, although
copies are in the folders.
I have tried, both as user and root, to delete the unwanted items,
but they reappear when the computer is started again. I can't find
any reference to this in KDE Help.
