Windows 7: 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.

Like which ones?

right click > personalize > change desktop icons. untick what you want (:

Desktop Icons - Add or Remove

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.

Sysinternals has a small program called Desktops.

You can download It here:

Sysinternals Desktops 1.0 Download - Freeware Files.com - Desktop Category

Or download the entire suite of utikities if your a power user:

Sysinternals Suite

How about this???...Stardock Fences - Fences - By Stardock - Clean up your desktop clutter ...may not be quite what you're looking for but...

Don't you have to pay big bucks for that?

wow, everybody is getting too complicated...
