If by writing "Desktop Icon" you mean Desktop Shortcuts to
objects, then... To expand on what "Ronnie Vernon MVP" posted.
Since it is possible to use a *.bmp as an icon, an easy solution
would be to use MSPaint to create a 32 X 32 pixel transparent
image *.bmp and use it as the icon for your Desktop Shortcuts.
Of course, as "Ronnie Vernon MVP" posted, "this would need to be
configured for each separate desktop item". Furthermore, unless
you changed the properties of shortcuts (to, for example, use the
same transparent.bmp you created instead of the default overlay
icon) you would still have the Shortcut Arrow.
For more information about how to use MSPaint to create a
"transparent image" and "change the size of your picture" search
Paint Help for the phrases in double-quotes (with the quotes) and
read the topics.
For more information about how to "change the icon for the
shortcut" search the Windows XP Help and Support Center for the
phrase in double-quotes (with the quotes) and read the Full-text
Search Match by that title.
And for more information about how to change the Shortcut Arrow
see the following Registry Tweak:

NOTE:
Changing or deleting registry entries can cause you to have to
reinstall the whole operating system. Before you run the
Registry Editor I recommend that you understand how to backup,
edit and restore the registry.
In particular, I suggest that you read the KB Article section
titled "Export Registry Keys" and then, before you edit the
registry, export the keys that you plan to edit. For more
information see the following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article
and/or Registry FAQ.
