Would you like a quick and easy way to hide and unhide your desktop icons?



You can make it happen with our user friendly Toggle Desktop Icons download -- and Yes, it is compatible with Windows 7 and Vista, too!

Simply download and install Toggle Desktop Icons and you will be able to make your Windows XP desk top icons disappear and reappear with just a single keystroke. The time and annoyance you'll save by using this easy to use and well tested product is well worth the tiny price!


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 XP 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".

As with all Software Candy products, Toggle Desktop Icons is completely free of any viruses or spyware (digitally signed for authenticity and integrity) and is well tested for its advertised features. If ever needed, you can also uninstall it completely with a single click, performing a total cleanup after itself.
