Remove 'Personal Safe' Icon from Desktop

Do you have an icon on your desktop called 'Personal Safe' that you can't get rid of?

It is part of the Protector Suite software. To remove it you must either uninstall the Protector Suite by going to Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Uninstall a program (or Add/remove programs) and then find Protector Suite and select to uninstall it.

OR

Remove the icon by setting an option in the Protector Suite software. This is useful if you for example is using the Protector Suite to manage your fingerprints for logging into your computer. Go to Start Menu -> All Programs -> Protector Suite -> Control Panel (or equivalent in your language). Open Applications on the left hand menu and click Personal Safe under Encrypted Archives.
Next you will have to enter a backup password to enable the Personal Safe options. After doing so you should be able to uncheck the option Show on Desktop. Press Apply and the icon should disappear.

I am using Protector Suite 2009 so location of menu items and such might be different for you.

Opera icon in ubuntu gone

Did you have a shortcut to launching Opera and have it's icon disappear when upgrading your Opera installation? (e.g. to 10.60).

No worries, just open the shortcut properties (use http://www.herikstad.net/2010/05/setting-ubunutu-menu-item-icon.html if it is a menu or panel shortcut). The location you want to look for the icon is:
/usr/share/opera/styles/images.
Select the Opera_256x256.png file.

Voila. :)

Setting Ubuntu menu item icon

Every tried setting the icon for a menu item on the Ubuntu start menu and discover that ubuntu can't find your icon files?

First of all, to get to the place where you change the icon:
Right click 'Applications' menu on the taskbar -> select 'Edit Menus' -> find your menu item in the list -> click 'Properties' -> click the current icon

When you select Browse... and go to the directory where your icons are located it doesn't show any files there. The key is to press Open when you are in the directory where the files should be. A new window will open showing the files that can be used as icons.

"The image files must be one of the types: PNG, XPM, or SVG, and the extension must be ".png", ".xpm", or ".svg" (lower case)." Source: http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-0.6.html

Changing the Blogger icon

In most cases the Blogger icon ruins some of the effect you are trying to create from your blog, thus changing the icon would be great addition. Heres how:

Create an image 20x20 pixels with your wanted logo. Check out some tutorials on making icons as an image shrunk to this size may look quite different than one intended. Save the image as a png file.

Upload the icon file to somewhere it is available online at all times, such as your homepage service (your ISP, geocities, etc.)

Go to Blogger Layout and select Edit Html. Add the following line to between the <title> and the <b:skin>:
<link href='URL to your image' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'/>

It will for example look like this:
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
<link href='http://www.somewhere.com/myicon.png' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'/>
<b:skin><![CDATA[/*
