# HideMyIcon

HideMyIcon is an AutoHotkey script to auto-hide the desktop icons in Windows 11. It also offers a customizable fading effect.

When I use multi-monitor setups, I get annoyed by the icons by just seeing them from my peripheral view.

This simple script helps me to control the visibility of the icons in Windows 11.
