Simple: click the "hide" box only in Desktop folder
(In Windows Classic view)
Go to Windows Explorer; click on Desktop. Go to Tools/Folder Options. Click View, and check "Hide protected operating system files" - but, DO NOT CLICK "APPLY TO ALL FOLDERS". Just click OK.
Now, only the Desktop folder will hide the files but they will still show up in all other folders.

Borderless games
Games are best when played full screen, but many won't play nice with Alt+Tab in full screen mode—which means you can't look at your browser for a guide or change the music playing in the background. Borderless Gaming fixes that problem.
Many games have a "borderless windowed" mode, which perfectly balances the optimal full-screen view with the ability to use other programs on your computer. Other games, however, do not—their "windowed mode" plays the game in an actual window, and who wants that?
Borderless Gaming is simple to use: Just set your game of choice to Windowed Mode, start it up along with the portable Borderless Gaming app, and find your game in Borderless Gaming's left-hand column. Click the arrow to add it to the right-hand column, and it should immediately switch to a borderless window, so you can Alt+Tab with ease.
It doesn't necessarily work for every game, but it should work with quite a few—we found that it worked great with Skyrim, and Ghacks notes that it also works for Terraria, DayZ, and Fallout 3. So try it out with your favorite game and see if it solves your Alt+Tab Woes.

ArgusBootAccelerator
Argus Boot Accelerator shortens your system's boot time.
Argus Boot Accelerator speeds up your boot process by managing your startup programs. Usually Windows would start all of them at the same time during the boot process, demanding data from your hard disk faster than it can deliver them. Argus Boot Accelerator will start them sequentially.
You can specify the order in which the programs will be started, set the waiting time before the next startup program is started and use advanced options like preventing the start of a program until the CPU and/or hard disk drive are idle.http://www.speedupboottime.com/en/
