I would add that you can *create* such icons yourself (right-click on the desktop -> create new -> different choices) Linux symlinks are more powerful than Windows shortcuts. TDE's "icons" can be more powerful than those on most desktops: create new -> link to location lets you create a "shortcut" to a drive/partition and you can drag & drop to this "shortcut". create new -> link to device lets you, for example, create a link to a DVD, USB or network drive, and it let's your mount/unmount it. create new -> link to application lets you create a shortcut to any program (creates a *.desktop file). Any such icon can be dragged to kicker (the "task bar"). And when we are there, TDE's taskbar is much more powerful than Window's. I first remove the useless "task" element (alt-tab works so well) and I have all the applications I daily use living there. And last: explore the TDE desktop because the main difference with Windows is that where you have to learn how to use the Windows Desktop, in TDE it's you who decide how the desktop will work for you. As a side note, I still miss the workplace shell's "shadows" that would disappear when you removed the program they were linked to... No other desktop seems to have this feature...
