I created 3 icons for the desktop. When I restart the machine they are gone. But if I restart Idesk Icons from the menu they reappear. I need them permanently there for my parents.

By the way, this system is a hard-drive installation.

I found a howto here for this

========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"antix.freeforu ms.org/get-started-with-idesk-t1231.html"
linktext was:"antix.freeforu ms.org/get-started ... t1231.html"
====================================
" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false

As a suggestion, you might also consider installing xfce or lxde as desktop environments. Either one of these two will be easier to set up icons, and offer a more friendly alternative than fluxbox or icewm.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Pedro, that's great advice. My parents will find that setup much more familiar. I appreciate your help.

You could also use pcmanfm to manage the desktop icons and wallpaper. And it's already included with the distro.
