Yep. Rename the icon with Alt + 255
For the next icon it's Alt + 255 Alt + 255
and so on

You must use the numeric keypad to input the 255.

but i used the keys which r below function keys... and it worked...

Oh ok .

Do you want to get rid of the icons too ?

Um...I prefer it like this,

Will bear your request in mind :)

i used fences but this is for an old dell that can't even run rocketdock. now she wants her desktop to work/look like mine. i was trying not to add too many programs.
LH, i don't know what that is

knowing her for several years now i can tell you she does better with pictures than she would with all them words and motions, lol.
the hiding then part was for myself, the only thing i have on my desktop is rainmeter and my taskbar autohides.
o.k., i'm done keeping you from the important issues, thanks again my friends...
