How do I change the download to not put an icon on my desktop

I have it set up with a copy of the gameshouse games folder on my desktop and a icon already goes into there. I don't need the additional icon of every game on my desktop. I know when I first set it up to download, there was the option of placing a desktop icon on there. How do I change this? Thanks in advance.

hi Lisa, for me I just right click on the icon after it's loaded and delete it.
It does not delete the game just the shortcut.
If there is another way maybe someone else knows how.
Hope this helps a little.

I use to get all sorts of icons are my desktop, now I have a folder for the ones I want and just delete the rest. Computes are temperamental, they just can't resisit putting an icon on my desktop that I already have.

Hi, Lisa... since you don't like extra things on your desktop, perhaps you should set it to install the games into a directory, like C:\GameHouse or something of the like, then keep a folder of the shortcuts on your desktop for easy access. I don't know what the default is, as I haven't downloaded from here yet.

mine go into its own fldr-gamehouse games-and can be found from the start menu.
I only keep the icons of the games I am currently playing.

Good idea, Room... I also keep a folder named "Playing" and also one called "New/Unplayed" so I don't lose track of what I have. Yes, I have THAT many games, lol! I guess I avoid using the Start menu because it's so full of other stuff.
