In depth
A closer look at EmptyDesk
EmptyDesk is an easy-to-use Windows utility that lets you clear your desktop with just a click on a button. Do you want an empty and cleared desktop, with no icons showing? Ever needed to take a simple screenshot but you couldn't, because the desktop is full of icons? Sometimes you need a screenshot while showing a piece of the computer desktop in the background. Problem: the icons are in the way. You need a clear background. No problem anymore: with EmptyDesk you can easily hide the icons with one button-click (and make them visible again with another button-click). Easy enough!
