An easy way to remove the icon from your desktop without deleting the file:
1. Add a library shortcut to the desktop under which the file is located (ex: pictures documents, music, etc.) -- You can do this by viewing your libraries then dragging it to your desktop.
2. Drag the file into the library shortcut
3. Delete the library shortcut from your desktop (optional)
--The library will not be deleted
Hope this helps...
