Desktop Icon Control
Looking for a free icon desktop control that will hide/show the desktop
icons with a control on the taskbar or ??? I want to turn on or off visibility. Other features not required. I tried Iconoid but it took over the Ctrl key. No go ! Need for Win XP and beyond. Thanks. |

Clutterness abolished. My desktop is covered with icons. I have a toolbar I use for the icons I want available. I would rather have a button to turn on and off the icon visibility rather than having to remember complicated key sequences that must be uses since many of my apps already use complicated enough keystroke combinations.

I don't know why I'd ever want to do that, but it's interesting that it's there. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://BrownMath.com/ http://OakRoadSystems.com/ Shikata ga nai... |

What you need is to clean up your desktop and then exercise some discipline about how you populate your desktop. I have NO icons to applications on my desktop. When installing a new application or updating an old one, I remove any icon that results from that installation (after I make sure that the appropriate icon also exists in my Start menu). After all, such icons are merely shortcuts to the application and not the application itself. My desktop is populated only with icons that are shortcuts to files and folders that I frequently use. Those icons are arranged around the edges of my desktop, leaving the center mostly empty. -- David E.

Freeman,
Clutterness abolished. My desktop is covered with icons. In that case, why don't you put a folder link into the "Quick Launch" area and put all those links in there ? Or maybe add a folder to the "C:\Documents and Settings\{you name}\Start Menu"(1) one, and have that folder appear in your startmenu in the same way as the "programs" one, as a fold-out submenu. (1) or right-click the "programs" entry, choose "open" or "explore", and go one folder up. Instead of having to switch them on/off everytime (and having to move dialogs because they obscure the icon you want to click) the access to them stays the same, regardless of what you are doing. It works for me (even though I've still got a few on the desktop :-) ). Regards, Rudy Wieser |
