    How do I hide system files Thumbs.db and desktop.ini ?

    Hello
    NumbGnome,

    You can hide protected system files by following the steps below:

    1. Open File Explorer from the taskbar.
    2. Select View > Options > Change folder and search options.
    3. Select the View tab and, in Advanced settings, select
      Don't show hidden files, folders, and drives and OK.
    4. Make sure "Hide protected operating system files" is ticked.

    If you have additional questions, or if the issue persists after the troubleshooting steps above, please let me know by replying to this thread. This way, I'll get notified and respond back to you as soon as I can.

    how to effectively hide or disable the taskbar?

    Hi,



    Did you try the “Auto-hide the taskbar” option from Taskbar properties?



    If you have not tried it, I would suggest you to follow these steps and auto-hide the taskbar:

    • Right click on Taskbar.
    • Click on Properties
    • Check the box Auto-hide the taskbar.
    • Click on OK.


    Hope this information helps.
