What are Desktop Icons and what does Toggle Desktop
Icons do?
Desktop
Icons are the little images found on your computer’s desktop that
represent the files, folders, and programs installed on your computer.
You can open these items by double clicking on the icon picture. If you
right click on an icon a drop down window, the context menu, will
appear giving you a list of options for actions that you can take with
the item.
If you frequently take screen snapshots for
tutorials, manuals or other purposes, you may want
to temporarily hide your desktop icons -- and do it
quickly.
Now with Software Candy’s
Toggle Desktop Icons
installed on your Windows computer you can get rid of all those
distracting icons just by clicking the “
Pause” key.
Since you probably
never use the “Pause” button it’s a perfect choice for a hotkey. When
you want them brought back, just click “
Pause” again
and they will be
instantly restored to their original positions.

Note: Some laptop keyboards
share "Pause" with another key. For example, on the
Sony VAIO laptop, you need to hold
down the blue
Fn key (on the bottom-left corner)
and then press the
Insert/Pause key to actually "press Pause". On the
DELL Studio, on the other
hand, you need to hold
down the
Fn key (on the bottom-left corner) and
then press the
F12 key to actually "press Pause".
If you are still unable to find the Pause key on your keyboard, check
our
Netbook version:

Desktop Icons Netbook Edition.
