There needs to be a tiny app written that does the following:

"DesktopIcons.exe -Hide"

If icons are shown, then Hide. If icons are hidden, then Hide them again.

"DesktopIcons.exe -Show"

If icons are hidden, then Show. If icons are shown, then Show them again.

The current icons app can only toggle, that's UNACCEPTABLE.

There must be some registry key which controls that;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\HideIcons

This one works on XP, but not on 7...
