Readers Tips – How To Hide Your Desktop Quickly

Top Tip: Click here to run a free scan for common PC errors

How often have you sat in or given a presentation, and everything is going well until you have to flick to your messy desktop, exposing how unorganised you are or your inappropriate wallpaper featuring some bikini-clad babes?

The solution is simple, and has been right before me for some time, but I wouldn’t have thought of it if Nick hadn’t emailed in this tip:

It can often be embarrassing to show up to give a presentation and have everybody there take a peek at how cluttered your desktop is. To quickly get your desktop looking spic’n’span, just right click on your desktop, follow the “Arrange Icons By” menu and uncheck “Show Desktop Items”. Voila! Your desktop is completely clean and you don’t have to worry about people seeing all of those game shortcuts on your desktop. After the presentation is over, just recheck “Show Desktop Items”. It is as simple as that!

Thanks Nick and $20 dollars is on it’s way to you. If you have a tip you think that other readers will enjoy, then send it in to tips@onetipaday.com and if it’s published $20 will be yours, and the adoration of fellow One Tip A Day readers!
