How do you display your desktop icons?

I opened Localizable.strings in TextEdit, but after changing the IV9 line, it said I don't have appropriate access privileges to save it.

Any help?

Thanks.

Copy it to the desktop, edit it, then copy it back to the original location. It will ask you to authenticate (i.e. enter your password).
 
Simple is better, but can be boring 😀

desktop icons? What are they?


I keep my desktop completely clean. Its much nicer that way. I occasionally drop files on it while i'm working, but they all get cleaned up when that project is done.
 
Mine!

Desktop icons on my Mac mini - time for a Drobo!

Just noticed they're not aligned - a quick cleanup fixed that hehe
