Hey Product Hunt community!
I love keeping my Windows desktop completely clean, but toggling icon visibility through context menus was taking too many clicks.
So I built Desktop Icon Toggler — a tiny, zero-dependency C# app designed to be pinned to your taskbar. It uses direct Win32 API calls to show/hide icons instantly, using 0% background RAM.
It's 100% free, open source, and verified clean. I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
