When Kali Linux is started, there are always one or more system icons on the desktop. “Computer” is usually a default icon. However, some people might like to remove this icon and/or add other icons like the famous “Trash” icon. All the other tutorials will tell you to use the Linux, “gconfig-editor,” but Kali Linux does not have this system editor! I believe I am the only one who knows of a way to do this, so let me share my knowledge in this simple tutorial. Step one: Start and login to Kali Linux using your account or the “root” account. Step two: Open the main menu. Hover your mouse on “System Tools,” and click on “dconf Editor.” After a few seconds, the dconf Editor will open. Now all you have to do is browse to the correct category and set the options. Step three: When the dconf Editor window opens, click on the plus sign next to “org” (located in the left pane). Step four: Now click the plus sign next to “gnome.” Step five: Scroll down the list in the left pan...

     Windows users may be used to the “Recycle Bin” being on their Desktop, and I admit that it is very convenient. So here’s a simple four step way to make that well-known Trash icon appear on Kali’s desktop. Step One Click “Applications” on the toolbar, then hover on “System Tools” for a second then click on “dconf Editor.” Step Two On the window that opens, click on the plus symbol next to “org,” then click the symbol next to “gnome” in the left pane . Step Three After you’ve expanded the “gnome” menu, scroll down the list until you find the “nautilus” menu. When you find it, expand it using the plus symbol . Final Step When you have expanded the “nautilus” menu, click on the word “desktop.” An options menu will pop up in the right pane of the window. In the right pane, check the check-box that says “Trash-icon-visible,” You can now close the “Configuration Editor” window, and the Trash icon will appear on your Desktop .   All Done!
