We all know a set of shortcuts Windows quite varied, since these are usually quite useful and comfortable. In the end, you must keep in mind that this Microsoft operating system is developed to be used without the need for a mouse. Well, we are going to tell you about a very useful keyboard shortcut that allows you disguise all the desktop icons quickly.
Initially, operating systems worked using commands, something that made a computer difficult to use. To simplify use, a layer was added called the graphical interface or user interface. What this layer does is allow for a simpler and friendlier use for any user.
Despite the development of this more intuitive layer, many of those characteristics continue to be maintained. There are many advanced actions or settings that are performed, even today, using commands. We also find keyboard shortcuts, which allow you to use the system in a fairly simple and simple way.
Leave your Windows 11 desktop clean with this trick
Many users are obsessed with leaving their Windows desktop completely clear. This means even eliminating the recycling bin that has been with us (and annoying) since time immemorial. The truth is that there are many ways to do this, but there is a very ingenious one.
The latest version of Microsoft’s operating system, such as Windows 11, includes many new shortcuts. It includes many new features and functions that we can access comfortably and easily. One of the most unknown is the possibility of cleaning the Windows desktop quickly. It’s not just about removing files and shortcuts, it’s also about removing the annoying recycle bin.
Yes, it is true that there are ways to hide the recycle bin, but it is a bit inconvenient and requires certain adjustments. The method we propose requires using a keyboard shortcut and then pressing two additional keys. Come on, in just 10 seconds we can clean our Windows desktop.
How do you do this? Well, simply follow these simple steps:
- Press the key combination Shift+F10 (on some keyboards it can be an up arrow or “SHIFT”)
- We must now press the key v.
- Next, we will press the key d.
If you have followed these steps, you will see that everything on your desktop has magically disappeared. Don’t worry, it hasn’t gone too far, in fact, it’s still on the screen. Well, here the trick we can say is that it hides behind the wallpaper so that it doesn’t get in the way. If you press this key combination again, you will see that the icons and the trash can appear again.
It would be like a kind of illusion trick within Windows 11. The only drawback of this is that it only works with the most recent version of Microsoft’s operating system. This feature is not present in Windows 10, so it will not work for you. You already know that Microsoft has begun to forget about it to only focus on its most recent version, which is the one that receives improvements, optimizations and new features.
