Organizing the Windows 7 Desktop – Part 1

In this fourth article of the series called “Taking Control of your Windows Desktop“, I show you how you can organize the Windows 7 desktop, which basically means to get your icons and shortcuts arranged on the desktop so that you can easily find what you are looking for.

In the first article of this series I showed you how easy it was to create desktop shortcuts. The problem is, once you learn to make your own shortcuts you often find yourself making LOTS of them, and pretty soon you’re looking at a messy desktop (I can personally attest to that!).

That’s why learning how to arrange and organize those icons is important, and in this video, that’s what you’ll learn to do.

[NOTE: In my book, the Windows PC Guidebook I talk in great detail about how to work with the Windows Desktop. CLICK HERE to learn more about the book.]
