    Can't disable "Double-click to Hide Desktop Icons"


    ​How do I disable "Double-click to Hide Desktop Icons"? I went into the Local Group Policy Editor and tried to disable it there but it doesn't work. While on the desktop I'll sometimes double-click by accident and it'll hide the icons. It gets annoying after a while. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Hotsuma,

    That appears to be something added from 3rd party software like ShowHide.

    Either closing (Exit) or uninstalling the program should stop it.

    Ah! You're right! I have Stardock Fences 3 installed. Had no idea that was a function of Fences. Much appreciated!
