Aside from manually deleting the shortcuts and icons on your desktop (the Recycle Bin cannot be deleted): you can right-click the background, find "Arrange Icons By" and press "Show Desktop Icons". This'll hide all the existing icons, so if you press "Show Desktop Icons again, they'll all return.
Right Click Your Desktop Select View Untick Show Desktop Icons
By default all the icons are are displayed on desktop but you can hide them. You can use desktop context menu to hide or show, right click on desktop, go to 'view' options and uncheck 'show desktop options'. To make them visible again simply check the 'show desktop options'. You can also use .reg file for showing or hiding. Show: 'Show_Desktop_Icons.reg Hide: 'Hide_Desktop_Icons.reg'
Why would you want to do that. just right click and go to arange icons by and then go to show desktop icons uncheck that dektop icond will hide
Icons can be dragged with the mouse. If you have so many icons on your desktop that there is no room for them all without overlapping, you should review them to see if you really need that many.
Desktop
The area with the screen saver and all of those little icons is the desktop.
You may have accidentally hit the 'Ctrl' and 'A' keys at the same time. Try clicking once on the desktop away from the icons - that might "unhighlight" them.
If there is no space on the desktop for icons, the icons will run off the screen. Thus the icons will not be displayed. If you use up the space, you could delete icons you don't use, resize the icons, increase the screen resolution, or create a folder on the desktop to move your less commonly used icons to.
Any icon on the desktop will stay on the desktop when you restart your computer. Upon windows shutdown, Windows saves all of your settings and preferences. So when you restart all of the icons, documents, pictures and everything else will stay right were it was.
Don't know if you are talking about any specific application but to view desktop icons, right click on desktop go to 'view' and select/check (if unchecked) 'show desktop icons'.
your screen refreshes when you close a program causing your desktop icons to flicker
