[Solved] Remove rox –pinboard = antiX-icewm

[Member userzero]

It is possible to remove rox –pinboard = antiX-icewm from system startup. I don’t need rox-filer to manage the desktop or do I need icons on it. It consumes 25MB of memory and it’s not even running.
I tried, but something different like rox –RPC runs.

>_ cat default-desktop 
rox-icewm

I like rox-filer, if possible I prefer to keep it.

Thank you.

Edito: I run pkill rox at the start of the session.

PS: The latest rox-filer update forced me to add this to ~/.icewm/winoptions:

Rox-filer.dTitleBar: 0
Rox.dTitleBar: 0
...
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 618528 Feb 7 08:39 rox
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Feb 7 08:39 rox-filer -> rox

Try the icewm desktop instead of rox-icewm (the default).

F1 at the login screen cycles through the desktop list

An alternate way, is this:

Once you boot to desktop, on the main menu, choose Desktop > Other Desktops > IceWM
Then reboot.

Thereafter, ROX will not load a pinboard. No icons on desktop; otherwise, the desktop will remain the same.
Future reboots will be the same, as well. (Also as BobC said, above.)

I didn’t think it was that simple, 🙂
Another alternative,
