Hide Me

Hide Me is a clever Windows program that hides otherwise unhideable desktop icons behind your desktop's wallpaper. While it is possible to remove most of the desktop icons within Windows, there are a few (such as My Computer) that are a little more permanent. Hide Me creates a small window that sits directly on top of those icons, grabs the wallpaper from underneath the icons, and paints itself with that portion of the wallpaper. The icons seem to disappear. Clicking on its taskbar icon toggles the icons back and forth (Figure 6.10).
