This is how to make a hidden desktop file. I know this is "hacky fix" so to say, but hey, it does work.
Code
1. select the file you what hidden
2. right click and go to properties>customize>change icon
3. scroll along until you see a blank icon select it and press ok then apply
4. but you can still see the name? click on the text and press down alt and on the number-pad hit 255 and press enter
