How do I disable the cleanup unused desktop icons notification? - Common Computer Questions

Question: How do I disable the cleanup unused desktop icons notification?

Answer: The Desktop Cleanup Wizard is used to help you cleanup any unused desktop icons that haven’t been used in a while. This is one of those situations where Windows thinks it knows what’s best for you and tries to help you out. You may not want Windows suggesting what icons it thinks you should and should not keep on your desktop. This is very easy to disable and only takes a few steps. Right click on your desktop and choose Properties. Then go to the Desktop tab and click on the Customize Desktop button. From there you will be on the General tab and uncheck the box that says Run Desktop Cleanup Wizard every 60 days and click Ok.
