Auto-hiding the desktop icons is a feature that is not available in various operating systems, especially Windows. This feature allows you to temporarily hide the icons present on your desktop to get a clearer view of your background or wallpaper.
However, the standard procedure if you want to hide the icons on your desktop are many steps that are followed on Windows:
Example Windows 10 and Windows 11:
Right-click on an empty space on your desktop.
In the context menu that appears, hover over “Customize” and click on it.
The Settings window opens. Scroll down until you see the “Desktop Icon Settings” option. Click on it.
In the next window, you can turn the desktop icons on or off by checking or unchecking the corresponding checkboxes. To hide the icons, uncheck the box next to the icons you want to hide. Then click “Apply” and “OK” to save the settings.
The icons on your desktop should now be hidden. You can unhide them again by following the same steps and checking the appropriate checkboxes.
Please note that the exact steps may vary depending on the version of Windows. If you use a different operating system, the steps to hide the desktop icons may be different.
