    Hiding SOME desktop icons


    Hi all--

    Is there a way to hide most of the desktop icons, but allow others to remain visible?

    I kinda doubt it, but I have to ask.

    Thanks.

    Stardock's Fences program allows you to group icons, and then double click your desktop to hide/show. Plus you can set some icons to always show.

    I can't remember off hand what program it was, but there is also a program that will allow you to have "multiple desktops," in which you can do as maryisbusy stated, and have certain "groups" show on certain desktops. I wanna say it the name has Vista in it....a part of the program that allows full customization of everything on your computer (colors, fonts, sizes, etc).

    Just make a new folder on the desktop and group them into setup, games, text files, etc.
