How do I block Google docs etc.

[Sargan]

New W11 install on new PC
I now have Google docs, Google sheets, shortcuts appear on my desktop.
I drag them to trash, but they reappear on next reboot.

I assume this come from Chrome install ? or Google drive these the only Google itsm that show as installed Apps
I do want Chrome and Google Drive but not the docs/sheets how do I remove these?

[ul]
[li] In Chrome, go to Settings (click the three dots in the top-right corner)[/li][li] Click on “Advanced” on the left sidebar[/li][li] Under “System”, turn off “Create shortcuts for my apps on the desktop”[/li][/ul]

[ul]
[li] Open Google Drive on your computer[/li][li] Click on the settings icon (gear) in the top-right[/li][li] Go to “Preferences”[/li][li] Uncheck any options related to creating shortcuts or integrating with Office[/li][/ul]

[ul]
[li] Press Win + R to open the Run dialog[/li][li] Type: C:\Users\Public\Desktop and press Enter[/li][li] Delete any Google Docs or Google Sheets shortcuts you find here[/li][/ul]
