Show / Hide Desktop Icons

  1. Right-click an empty space on your desktop and then select Personalize.
  2. Click Change desktop icons in the upper left corner of the Personalization window.
  3. Check the icons you want to show and uncheck icons you don’t want to show on your desktop under Desktop icons.

    The names of the icons have changed a little since previous versions of Windows so I’ll list a few of them with a description of what each is.

  • Computer: Same as My Computer
  • User’s Files: Same as My Documents
  • Network: Same as Network Places
