or, you can set up two desktops

one with, one without icons, (the gui provides for four desktops per user),and just toggle back and forth
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU'VE DONE IT'S WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO

Create a file, paste the following...

Code:
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3

[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
Save file as showdesktop.scf
