How to show or hide common icons on the desktop in Windows Server 2012

Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2008 differ in how they display or hide common icons on the desktop.

Previously, in Windows Server 2008, you could quickly search for common icons on the desktop by typing "icon" in the Start menu.

Windows Server 2012 does not have this feature. I can't find this option in "Control Panel - Display".

I was immediately very unconvinced and still didn't believe that I couldn't do it.

After thinking about it, I remembered that there is a "God's Perspective" thing in Win 10, which should also be available in Win Server 2012. Create a new folder on the desktop and rename it
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

The icon automatically changes to the picture above, and then double-click to find:

Check the icons you want to display and click OK.

After Baidu, there is another way to call up the configuration interface again. The specific method is as follows:

1. Press and hold the "Windows Key" + "R" on the keyboard at the same time to bring up the Run window.

2. Enter "rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,0" in the Run window to confirm. (Note capitalization)
Method 1 is recommended.
