    TweakUI will do it. Get it here.

    Double-click on "desktop" and uncheck them unwanted icons.

    Or....right click on desktop>Properties>Desktop, the Customize Desktop button, should be right there.

    You can also just hide ALL icons if you wish, by right clicking and going hide desktop icons. That was how i had to do it, Pre-finding tweakui.
