## Desktop Icons

With Budgie, start by opening Raven, either by clicking on its icon in the far right of the system tray or using the keyboard shortcut `Super + A`. Next, click the cog icon for Budgie Settings.
Desktop Icons are enabled by default. To disable them, open the Budgie Desktop Settings app by selecting "Budgie Desktop Settings" from the Budgie Menu, or from the pop-up menu when right-clicking on a blank spot on the desktop.

Alternatively, you can open the Budgie Menu and then click "Desktop" in the System Settings category.
In the Budgie Desktop Settings app, click "Desktop" in the left-hand sidebar - Desktop Icons is the first toggle switch on that screen.

You may now add things to your Desktop. This can be done by dragging an item onto the Desktop or by right clicking an icon and selecting Copy to / Move to Desktop. Alternatively, open the Budgie Menu and click on "Files" and then move the files you want to the Desktop folder (as shown in the image below). Please note, the Desktop folder is not visible in "Files" until you've enabled the Desktop icons.
To place files on your desktop, you can either drag them directly onto the Desktop, or move the files you want to the Desktop folder within the Nemo file manager app (as shown in the image below).
