HideMe! - Desktop Icon Hider

Tired of those pesky icons sitting on your beautiful wallpaper and
messing up the scene?  Although you can remove most icons, some icons
(e.g. local and network) insist on remaining on the desktop and marring
the view.  With HideMe! you can safely hide the icons from view and
still let them exist on the desktop.  HideMe! creates a small window
that sits on TOP of those icons and then grabs the picture underneath
the icons and paints itself with that image.  The icons then appear to
disappear!  The window remains in the bottom of the z order (that means
it stays behind all other windows on the screen.  The hidden window can
be toggled on and off via the tray icon of the eyeball.  Left clicking
the eyeball will toggle the icons visibility on and off.  Right clicking
the icon will bring up a small menu that allows you to adjust the size
that will be covered.  The program always locked so it cannot be moved
and always appears in the upper left hand corner. (So if you want to hide
your icons move them to the upper left corner.)  If you change the 
wallpaper background you can left click the window itself and it will
redraw itself to the new image.  You can simply add this program to 
your startup and say goodbye to cluttered screens! This program is 
freeware.
