Press ctrl+alt+D to hide desktop icons. Again ctrl+alt+D
to unhide. hide unhide hide and unhide. It's a fun right?
So today's video is on how to hide shortcuts from a Messy desktop. Maybe you
have lots of shortcuts on your desktop like these. Or maybe you have even more!
You have plenty of shortcuts on all over your desktop. But you don't like to see
you desktop in this way. In fact nobody like to see a Mesa desktop. So the
general solution is you can delete a lot of program shortcuts from your desktop.
Honestly you don't need all of these shortcuts as you can easily access them
from start and all programs. Right? I would recommend you to delete
unnecessary software shortcuts from your desktop. Just right click and delete. Hit yes.
Also maybe you are saving files directly on your desktop. This is also not a good
practice. You can either save the files in documents or save in a specific drive
rather than the root drive. But what if you frequently use files and don't want
to bother with some extra works. Like each and every time opening document
folder or check drive to find files. If so then please continue watching the video.
I'm going to show you how you can hide desktop icons with just a help of
keyboard shortcut. Unfortunately Windows doesn't provide any keyboard shortcut
like this. So we are gonna make one of our own
First of all we'll download a software. I provided the link in description. Just
copy it and paste inside your browser.
You can see the software is only 87 kilobytes. So it's very lightweight one.
Also be ensured that this software is totally virus and bug free.
I have been using it for almost one and half year and never ever found any kind
of problem in my laptop. Ok after downloading this software we'll go to
download folder and this one is our software. I'll just cut it. And then
I'll paste it in a separate Drive. Okay now this software is in zip format.
I'll just right-click and unzip it. Okay now I will just right click on and click
on pin to start menu. This is pin to start menu. Well now our
software is pinned in the start menu. You can see it is right on the top of the
start menu. Now I'll just right click on it and go to properties. In shortcut key
field I'll just click once and then I will hit control alter D (ctrl+alt+d) from my
keyboard. Ctrl+alt+d. Now I will hit on apply and ok. Now whenever I will hit
Ctrl+alt+d from my keyboard my desktop icons will be disappeared.
Well first time when we will press control, alter and d we will see this window.
And we just need to uncheck the check box from here. And click on run button.
And now wala! You can see all the desktop icons are disappeared. If you
want to keep hiding your desktop shortcuts leave it in this way and
continue working on any file or continue listening to your favorite music. Just
hit Ctrl+alt+d again once you need to access any file which is saved
on your desktop.
