This tutorial will walk you through adding Windows 10 desktop icons, as well as replacing them with new ones. If you’re in the latter group, there are a few ways to add these clickable symbols to your desktop. Some users may prefer to keep their desktop clean and free of icons while others need only a few of the most commonly used options available with one click.
They can be practical, too, as you can also add Windows 10 desktop icons, either as shortcuts from programs you have installed or from icon packs that replace all of your default icons with custom ones. These changes don’t have to just be aesthetic. You can change the color, transparency, wallpaper, folder color, size, shape, look, sound, and feel. The Windows 10 desktop is an immensely configurable place, and the amount of ways you can change the look and feel of it to turn it into your digital home is impressive.
