Default Hiding application icons from the desktop

I do want to hide application icons(not shortcut icons)
from the desktop. These application icons were
automatically gengerated by the application software
during installation. I want to launch the application
program directly, not from the icon on desktop.

Right-click the icon and choose Delete.

If by 'Application icon" you mean that the icon is appearing on the desktop
because that's where the application file (the EXE file) has been placed.
then uninstall the application and re-install it to a different location
(such as a folder within the Program Files folder).
