Hide, show, customize Windows icons with Iconoid

Tired of looking at all 67 icons littering your Windows desktop? Sure, you could just clean them up and place just the shortcuts you use most often on your desktop. But Iconoid presents an easier alternative - hide your icons when you don't need them.

Iconoid is choc full of features. You can set it to always hide your desktop icons, never hide them, or hide them based on where your cursor is. You can also choose whether to hide or show the taskbar.

The program also lets you adjust how your icons are displayed. You can select background or text colors or adjust whether a drop shadow will be displayed. You can also save the position of the icons on your desktop so you can quickly restore your desktop settings even after you've moved icons around or changed your screen resolution.
