Show/Hide Desktop Icons with a single click
Hello, Is there anything i can do by showing/hinding desktop icons using a hotkey. I tried different softwares but i encounter some problems that are not on my taste. Maybe i can use powershell....
Hello lucifer224,
If you want to use only hotkey, I believe you need to use third-party software as it seems not possible natively in Windows. Though, you can create a batch script for registry change HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoDesktop:1.
I found a PowerShell script, but unfortunately that allows only to show Desktop icons, not hide.
I highly recommend you to post to PowerShell community to get more ideas and get this resolved:

Hope this helps!
