# Enabling Desktop Icons
You can enable desktop icons by opening Raven, clicking the cog wheel for Budgie Settings, then toggling Desktop Icons on under the Background section.
You can enable or disable desktop icons easily depending on your personal preference.
## Budgie
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 and then toggle "Desktop Icons" on under the Background section.

2. Moving the files you want to the Desktop folder (as shown in the image below).
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.
