You can sort your desktop icons all you want, but, eventually, your desktop will be overrun by icons if you like running everything from this place. A good solution to this issue is AutoHideDesktopIcons. You can use this simple application to instantly hide all your desktop icons and reveal them at a moment's notice when you need them. Everything can be prepared in a matter of moments, without any kind of difficulties.

AutoHideDesktopIcons is offered as a freeware application and it can be used on any popular Windows platform. You only need to extract its executable from a ZIP archive and run it. You don't have to go through an installation process and you don't need to set up any prerequisite tools or services.

Running the application on your computer is sufficient to hide all desktop icons. However, you can make a series of fine tweaks, on a compact user interface, to tailor the application's functionality to your own needs. What's more, the configurations don't involve much more than simply clicking a few check boxes.

Icons are hidden automatically after a countdown, which you can set by moving a slider. Alternatively, you can set the application to hide your icons when you click the middle mouse button or a hotkey. Bringing the icons back can be done in various ways. Depending on your settings, you can reveal your icons when you click the left, right or middle mouse button or when you simple move the mouse across your desktop.

AutoHideDesktopIcons comes with a few other useful features. Besides setting it to run at startup and hide your icons immediately, you can also set it to hide the icons permanently. Furthermore, the software can hide the task bar as well, so you can work in a completely clean environment.

With AutoHideDesktopIcons's clean and simple functionality, you can hide all the clutter on your desktop at a moment's notice.

Pros

Icons can be hidden automatically or manually. There are several ways to reveal the icons. The application lets you hide your icons permanently and it can also hide your task bar.

Cons

There are no serious issues to address.
