Charlie, the easist way, no program required, is to right-click on an empty area of your desktop.  Select New, then click on folder.  Type a name such as "GrandKids" then drag the icons to the folder.  When you need them, just click on the folder.  It's an easy way to clean up the desktop, just two or three folders holding all those icons that are not in constant use.

Subject: Desktop Icons

I  ran across some Freeware a couple of years ago that would allow me to 
"hide" desktop icons without deleting them permanently. I  would do a 
search but can't recall the name of the Freeware.    I like having easy 
access to a number of icons but since I keep getting more grandchildren 
and therefore more pictures to add to my wallpaper,  I am looking for a 
way to hide the icons until I need them.  Thanks for any leads.  Charlie
