    Now my Desktop is very cluttered with my ~ files.  I have a ~/Desktop folder which has nothing in it.  If I could change to this, I would have a nice clean Desktop.

    How do I do this?
    Thank you,

    Tidy it up and put it in the folder.
    Is this ok?

    Sure thing.  My Desktop shows the content of ~ folder  - my "home" folder.  i have  also a ~/Desktop folder which is  empty, and I want the Desktop to show that  folder instead of my home  folder  which  has many files.

    Here is the screenshot.

    The icons are what is in my /home/$USER folder.  I want to change the desktop to /home/$USER/Desktop folder.   I cannot find the configuration file fofr this.
    thanks
