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.
