"Best Little DeskTop Icon Manager Around!"
Version: Iconoid 3.8.4
Pros
White Lightening must be drinkin' some of that stuff! Your icons are supposed to disappear. That's what this does and more!!! I've been using this for over a year. Works as advertised. Flawless on WinXP! Not only does it hide your desktop icons ect., but it has "HotCorners"! Pick a corner of your monitor in the settings dialog. When anyone walks into the room (like kids ect.,) and you don't want them to see what your working on, like your financial biz, just run your cursor to your chosen corner and ALL active apps will be instantly minimized to the task bar! This is a very handy little app that's worth your time downloadong and instaling. Puts desktop icons out of sight til you need them with just a click on the desktop. Very good, no conflicts, and no adware or 3rd party junk.

"Simple, Powerful, Effective Icon Management Solution"
Version: Iconoid 3.8.4
Pros
Iconoid lets you manage the position and appearance of your icons through a simple tool that you can run whenever you want, or leave running in the system tray. Contrary to what the original editor's review says, you can have it start up with Windows.
I find Iconoid most useful for restoring a messy desktop back to the beautiful arrangement of icons I worked so hard to perfect. Once you save your icon positions with Iconoid, you can instantly restore them to their exact locations no matter how messed up they get from running different resolutions for games, etc. Also, Iconoid lets you change the text and background color of icons. Most useful is the transparent option, to make icons more seamlessly blend with your desktop background. It also lets you hide all your icons to reveal your full desktop background.
On top of these essential tools, Iconoid has a handy set of options for how and when you want it to run. It will also change your desktop color. The program can be accessed with a single click from the system tray. It's basically an invisible program, until you need to use it. It has almost no footprint in system resources.
Iconoid is the best little
miscellaneous icon tool that I've experienced. It's not only freeware, but free of annoyances and problems. It will never even nag you to buy it. If only all freeware could be so kind. It does everything it's supposed to, and very well. Use it, set it, and forget it. This tight, solid, highly functional tool earns a perfect rating from me.

"Does Exactly What I wanted"
Version: Iconoid 3.8.4
Pros
There were a few comments that indicated the program was not really needed, probably true.
But if you want those ugly boxes on your desktop to go away, get this software. I used to use Desktop Architect to do this, but with a new computer I wanted to use something new(er) and readily available.
A wonderful little piece of software, Cheers!
Cons
I don't think there are any cons to write about.
