Desktop icons

[notlim_hardy]

Hi. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 and I'd like to know if there's a way to customize the desktop by creating icons like Computer, Network places, to kinda make it look like M$ Windows desktop. Thank you.

Open the configuration editor with gconf-editor in terminal or the run dialog, and go to apps>>nautilus>>desktop where you can chose all those you mention.

Ok, it worked just the way I meant it to. Ajgreeny, thank you so much for your huge help!
