Desktop de-clutter: How to enable the games folder in windows 10

[HiFlyer]

I was trying to write up instructions for this and realized I would probably just confuse people. So here's a video I found instead!  

 

I hate extra Icons on my desktop, and this is a great place to hide all the Orbx and other Crap.

 

(Just keep in mind when placing Icons manually from folders that they usually have to be shortcuts. Just dropping the icon from the actual game folder usually will not work)

One caveat to my post; don't try this with game icons created by steam. They don't work, and if you do it you will have to visit your registry to get rid of them.
