If you have more than four rows of icons on your
desktop, you probably have too many for efficient
use. Desktop icons should only be something used
often. The icon idea is to put a program or project
up front, so you don’t have to spend a lot of time
looking for it. Quick access is the key! If you have
several dozen icons there, the ability to find some-
thing quickly is much less likely. We usually start
with just a few, but they tend to grow in number as
we install a new program. Every program writer
thinks his/her program is the absolute most important one, so they hang another icon on your desktop.

So here is what I recommend you do. Look over the icons on your desktop and identify the ones you
haven’t clicked on in weeks or maybe months. Right click somewhere on your Desktop. Select NEW,
then click on FOLDER, name the new folder Misc. or Stuff. Then hit Enter.

Now, left click and drag your least used icons into this one folder. Leave only the frequently used icons in
view. Those rarely used icons are still available to you should you need one of them.

Get to work! You will be glad you did!
