Shortcuts on Your Desktop

Have too many icons on your desktop? You probably only have a few that you really use on a regular basis, so why not keep the other ones handy, but hidden.

Well, it can be done by putting a little folder on your desktop and dragging any infrequently used shortcut icons to it. Here's how:

1. Right-click the desktop and select, New, Folder.

2. Name the new folder "Shortcuts"

3. Now, drag any icons that aren't being used on a regular basis to the folder. Some of the icons can't live anywhere but the desktop, so you'll find you can't move them. Most of them will make the transition with no complaints though.

That's it. Just open the folder when you need access to those shortcuts.

How about that? A much cleaner desktop :-)
