Hah. I have seen this option before. For whatever reason, I don't have it now. I had it before formatting my PC. I have NO idea what makes it appear or not, lol. So strange. Oh well.

On step number 1, you say right click on your desktop. What does that mean? There is no desktop icon, just the front page where all the icons are located. Tell me specifically how and where to find the "desktop" so I can right click it

Worked like a charm... Best thing to do on friends is take a screenshot of your friends computer while everything in minimised and then apply this as the desktop background.

Now hide all the icons and watch and laugh as the try clicking on @icons' and nothing happens

Hmm... that's interesting. Are you sure you are right clicking on your desktop (this is where all the icons are and you can see your wallpaper). Make sure that you aren't right clicking on your taskbar or something else.

It should be one of the first options you see when you right click. Then just hover your mouse over it and another menu should pop-up, in that just click on "Show Desktop Icons". And that should hide all the icons...

Hope this helps :D
