Many thanks for this info. I had allowed Microsoft to do an update and my icons on the desktop disappeared. This cured the problem simply. Thanks.

In my Windows 7, I click VIEW and check or uncheck View Desktop Icons

I use it for when I am doing a screen recording with Camstasia

Is it possible to hide only the icons you want without hiding them all?
Thanks for you help. :-)

For whatever purpose you can hide all the icons on your desktop without having to delete them.

On my laptop you got to go to “Arrange icons by” then look for it on that list
Hope that helps
