Computer Desktop Mess

oxygene · 4 May 2011 at 16:02

Ok my desktop is currently comprised of 200 icons spread over 2 monitors. These are stored in 8 different fences to keep them organised. But atm its getting all too much lol. I never seam to lose icons, only gain them. In the past I've experimented with folderising stuff instead of fences, using docks, sidebars, even using the windows start menu! So my question is this, what do you guys do? And what do you guys recommend? I can provide screenies if needed, and wouldnt mind some of yours too

Tbh, all of those game shortcuts could easily be in the start menu. just hit win-key, type the name and hit enter. If you're looking to economise on screen space, that's a good place to start.. Seen a lot of insane desktop management though, so i'm intrigued by what people come into this thread with

also i see pics inside ur folderz

Yah but you cant see what they are

Hmm tried that b4 but couldnt get it to do what I wanted lol. I have a lot of games, is there any way to have multiple rows of icons?

Yeah after some of the comments I've moved my games and progs into task bar stuff, which helps a lot lol. Still got a load of crap lying around though. Need to work on some kind of organisation for the misc. On my old machine I had folders and folders labled misc or pics...
