You can add icons to your desktop in Windows 10 and more easily access the system apps or folders you regularly use. Here's how to do it.

Click and drag on a widget to position it on your desktop manually, or click the green + (plus) icon on a widget to have it neatly positioned on the desktop alongside other widgets.

By default, Microsoft doesn't allow users to change the distance between desktop icons on the Windows 11 desktop, but an edit of the Windows Registry will do the trick.
