To set your preferences for what the Finder shows on the Desktop click on the Desktop so that the Finder menu bar is showing and select Preferences. In the General section you can select what you want to show on the Desktop and in the Sidebar section you have similar options for a Finder window sidebar. Under the Finder's View menu you can select Show View Options which allows you to adjust how icons are displayed on the Desktop.
