removing items from desktop without deleting them from computer?

is there a way that i can remove things from my desktop without having to move them to the trash? i just don't like how they look on the desktop (they're covering my background) and i just want them out of there, but do not want to delete them entirely.

MacBook Pro

What are these THINGS? Best way to stop THINGS from being placed on the desktop is to stop putting THINGS there.


Files you create should go in folders in either your Documents folder or the respective folders under your username folder, Music, Pictures and the like. There are already folders in your Username folder for those THINGS.



If these THINGS are icons for drives then you can't move them but you can turn off showing them on the desktop.
