In Windows Vista Tips Rated by 1 users
Step 1: Hide the desktop icons and files.
- Right click on the Desktop, go to View and uncheck the option Show Desktop Icons. Now you will have a clean desktop.
Step 2: Create a Desktop shortcut to open Desktop Folder.
- All the items in the desktop are stored in the folder under your user name. Click on Start button > (your username) > Desktop folder.
- Right click on the Desktop folder and click Send to -> Desktop (Create Shortcut). This will create a desktop shortcut to open desktop folder.
Step 3: Assign a Custom keyboard Shortcut to open Hidden Desktop Icons and Files.
- Now open the desktop folder like mentioned in step 2.
- Right click the keyboard shortcut for desktop you have created just now and click Properties.
- Open Shortcuts tab and click on Shortcut Key box. Now click ALT + CTRL + any letter key to create a custom shortcut and click OK. I usually use ALT + CTRL + D to open desktop folder and Win + D to show desktop.
- Now you can open all the hidden icons and files in the desktop in a folder to have a quick access at the stroke of a custom keyboard shortcut.
