To test the code (which I have already on Windows 7), just create a new WF application and place a button on the form. Now add the code shown here: using System.Runtime.InteropServices; // needed for DllImport namespace WindowsFormsApplication1 { public partial class Form1 : Form { [DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)] static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string lpClassName, string lpWindowName); [DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)] static extern IntPtr GetWindow(IntPtr hWnd, GetWindow_Cmd uCmd); enum GetWindow_Cmd : uint { GW_HWNDFIRST = 0, GW_HWNDLAST = 1, GW_HWNDNEXT = 2, GW_HWNDPREV = 3, GW_OWNER = 4, GW_CHILD = 5, GW_ENABLEDPOPUP = 6 } [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)] static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, UInt32 Msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam); private const int WM_COMMAND = 0x111; static void ToggleDesktopIcons() { var toggleDesktopCommand = new IntPtr(0x7402); IntPtr hWnd = GetWindow(FindWindow("Progman", "Program Manager"), GetWindow_Cmd.GW_CHILD); SendMessage(hWnd, WM_COMMAND, toggleDesktopCommand, IntPtr.Zero); } public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } // add this eventhandler via the designer private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { ToggleDesktopIcons(); } } } One press of the button should hide all the desktop icons and another press should restore them.
