iWant Tech Tip: Clutter-Free Desktop




iWant Tech tIp:


Kudos to my brother for this idea.


Ever wanted to just cut down on all the clutter on your desktop? Icons getting in the way of your uber-sweet LOTR background? No sweat.


Create folders on your desktop:


1. Right click on the desktop

2. click "New Folder"

3. Rename the folder to whatever suits your needs (I chose mine to be Office, Media, Games, and Internet)

4. Choose an appropriate picture or icon by right clicking on the folder and clicking "Properties". Go to the "Customize" tab and choose "change icon"

5. Put whatever shortcuts you need in the folder.


This is really customizable, you can put anything you want in these folders, not just the ones I have. Tailor to your needs.
