Start screen search for "Show or Hide common icons"
or right click on the desktop in the bottom left corner to show a small menu which includes Control Panel From there click Appearance and Personalization, then Personalization. Finally chick change desktop icons on the left Even if the box next to Network is unticked, click it to enable it, then disable it again (if it's ticked to start with, untick it) Click "OK" and you should find the Homegroup icon has gone from the desktop. |

If you are using Windows 8 :
Step 1: From the Windows 8 Start Screen, search for 'Show or hide common icons on the desktop'. Alternatively, right-click on the desktop in the bottom-left corner to show the small menu which includes Control Panel. From there, click Appearance and Personalisation, then Personalisation. Finally, click Change desktop icons on the left. Step 2: Even if the box next to Network is unticked, click it to enable it, then disable it again. (If it's ticked to start with, untick it). Step 3: Click OK and you should find the HomeGroup icon has gone from the desktop. There seems to be a bug where the HomeGroup icon can reappear at random. It's simple enough to run through this quick process when that happens, but hopefully a future Windows update will fix this problem. |
