Hide Desktop Icons

For years I dreamed of a completely blank Desktop, with no icons cluttering up my carefully chosen background image. There were ways to do this, but they involved making Registry changes, and I wasn't about to risk my PC's health by fiddling with the Registry. Then Windows XP came along. For good computer tips, click the Desktop with the right mouse button and hover the mouse pointer over “Arrange Icons By.” In the side menu, single-click the “Show Desktop Icons” option to remove the checkmark (clicking the option again will return your Desktop icons). My dream is fulfilled! (Okay, so it was a sad little dream, but we all have our little joys in life!)
