DesktopIconToggle

Desktop Icon Toggle is a lightweight system tray utility that allows you to instantly toggle Windows desktop icons with a double-click.

Installation and Usage

Using the installer

⬇️ Download DesktopIconToggle-Setup.exe (github.com)

Simply download and launch the installer. The app should launch automatically after installation, and will autostart on boot.
You can also launch it manually from the Start Menu.

Using a package manager (community packages)

Install using Chocolatey: choco install desktopicontoggle

Install using WinGet: winget install -e --id Hexandcube.DesktopIconToggle

The app won't launch automatically after a silent install, you need to launch it manually, or restart Windows for it to launch on startup.

Standalone executable

⬇️ Download DesktopIconToggle-x64.zip (for x64) (github.com)

⬇️ Download DesktopIconToggle-arm64.zip (for ARM64) (github.com)

In the zip file, 2 different executables are provided:

• STANDARD (DesktopIconToggle-win_x64.exe / DesktopIconToggle-win_arm64.exe)

Lightweight executable, requires .NET 8 Desktop Runtime (dotnet.microsoft.com) to be installed on your system

• PORTABLE (DesktopIconToggle-win_x64-Portable.exe / DesktopIconToggle-win_arm64-Portable.exe)

A heavier, self-contained executable, includes all necessary dependencies.
