What does your desktop look like?? Mine is a complete mess, I tend to shove links and potential threads there!

The only way around it is to manually do it, by creating a folder on desktop call it desktop icons & click & drag each icon into the folder so that your not used a lot icons are hidden [will test that out for you all cos im so kind] lol & if it dont work then i can let you know hehehehe

IT WORKS !!!!!

So there you go & you can change icon design if you go into properties of the new folder you set up >> change icon & will bring up loads of icons to choose from rather than the standard boring folder - a great way of tidying up your desktop

Right, I knew this was available under Home edition

Right click your desktop, select properties
Click teh 'Desktop' tab and then the 'Customise desktop'

there you will find a tickbox for 'Desktop Cleanup'

Theres even a button to run it now.

As I do keep pointing out, I'm not a windows user, try a google for "Windows XP home trips and tricks"
