Bring’em back with a click!
Hey passenger’s incase you didn’t know, you can quickly hide all your desktop icons to eliminate all that clutter until you want it back.
You can accomplish this if you have Windows Vista or 7 (I’m not sure about XP), no Fences required. Here’s how:
1. Right-click any empty area of the desktop, then mouse over View.
2. Click Show Desktop Icons to remove the checkbox.
Presto! No more icons! Now you can enjoy that fancy Windows wallpaper without all the clutter. Don’t worry, the icons aren’t gone for good: To bring them back, just repeat the above steps.
Personally, I think hiding all your icons permanently is a great way to go. Just train yourself to run programs via the Start Menu,
