I was trying Stardocks Fences program and if you double click on the desktop, the icons hide/unhide.
Instead of installing a program for this (and other features), is there an AHK script that will accomplish this for me please?
Thanks very much.

Code:
^#d::PostMessage,0x111,28755,,,ahk_class Progman

~LButton::
 If ( A_PriorHotKey = A_ThisHotKey && A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 400 ) {
   WinGetClass, Class, A
   If Class in Progman,WorkerW
     SetTimer, ToggleDesktopIcons, -50
 }
Return

ToggleDesktopIcons:
 WinActivate, ahk_class Progman
 ControlGet, Selected, List, Selected, SysListView321, ahk_class Progman
 IfEqual,Selected,,PostMessage,0x111,28755,,,ahk_class Progman
Return


Tested ony in XP. If Double-Click-On-Desktop does not work for you, you may use the Hotkey Ctrl+Win+d
You need to Double-Click on the empty area of the desktop, which is the intended feature.

I have taken SKAN's script above and replaced "toggledesktopicons"
with a variant that should do the job with less delay:
Code:
~LButton::
 If ( A_PriorHotKey = A_ThisHotKey && A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 400 ) {
   WinGetClass, Class, A
   If Class in Progman,WorkerW
     SetTimer, ToggleDesktopIcons, -50
 }
Return

ToggleDesktopIcons:

var := (flag=0)? "Show" : "Hide"

flag := !flag
Run, ping,, min

WinExist("ahk_class Progman")
Control,%var%,, SysListView321

Return

SKAN's script won't work in Win98SE. lazygeek's does, but only for hiding icons; they won't get restored until right-click > Refresh on desktop.
And as we know, the tilde (~) is ignored on 9x systems but looks like neither simple LButton/MButton are not read for me.
No big deal, just sayin'.

I've had some different problems from you guys, like needing to click six times or more to show/hide the icons.
I've made a few changes in the above code, now it's working fine to me in Win7. :D

Code:
~LButton::
 If ( A_PriorHotKey = A_ThisHotKey && A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 400 ) {
   WinGetClass, Class, A
   If Class in Progman,WorkerW
   var := (flag=0) ? "Show" : "Hide"
   flag := !flag
   Control,%var%,, SysListView321, ahk_class Progman
   Control,%var%,, SysListView321, ahk_class WorkerW
}
Return


And about the double clicking the icon and everythings get hidden, it's a nice feature for me, maybe you can substitute the double click with a middle button click if you don't want to this happen.

Hi there,

Thank you for the script which works to hide the icons, but unfortunately it does not hide the Fences...

Is this possible?

I've just realised that I need to double-click a second time to hide the Fences.

Many thanks again for the help with the script. :D
