Guys for me it works:
If your theme has multiple wallpapers selected on autochange it does NOT work. If you have a single wallpaper selected, be that with windows personalization applet or as in my case with xnview it DOES work.

I had various icons on my desktop before I went to sleep and now they are not there. But they are in the area where you can delete them (uninstall/change program). I have no idea what happened to them. (My kids may have done something to it.) How do I get my icons where they were before? Please help. Thank you for your help.
Yours Truly,

It works in windows 7 x64 BUT with one caveat: If your theme has multiple wallpapers selected on autochante it does NOT work. If you have a single wallpaper selected, be that with windows personalization applet or as in my case with xnview it DOES work.
I nearly went crazy until I found out this!!!

Some people (myself included) might find it more convenient to download Stardock Fences; whenever it is on, you can double-click the desktop to hide/reveal icons.

I have been looking for a solution like this for a while. It worked for my XP laptop but not for my Windows 7 desktop. Well… I just found an amazing little app that hides and restores the desktop icons using ONE keystroke and it works for me on Windows 7 (they claim it works on Vista as well). I love it. Just Google “toggle desktop icons hotkey” and you will find it.

It works like a charm, tested in Windows 7 + ObjectDock

Thanks!!!
