Another option:
1. Right-click on desktop and Unlock Widgets.
2. Right-click and choose Desktop Settings > Desktop Activity - Type: Folder View > OK.
   (if you get Folder View Settings, you don't have to change the above (2.) setting)
3. Drag-drop item from menu (any menu style) to your desktop.
4. Drag items on your desktop to the wanted position.
5. Right-click on desktop and Lock Widgets.

rightclick on the desktop, not on the panel. Or Alt+D or Alt+S. Or leftclick on this strange icon that appears on the top right (Plasma).

have a look at

2. Right-click and choose Desktop Settings > Desktop Activity - Type: Folder View > OK.

In other words: When you have "Folder View" you won't get "Desktop Settings" but only "Folder View Settings"
