Desktops are notorious for getting cluttered with files and shortcuts, and although this is in some ways convenient while your working on projects or files, in the long run, these files never leave the desktop and end up cluttering the user interface. This is not only unpleasant but it also slows your computer down, because it renders the icons on start-up but also while your running applications and switching between applications.

This video tutorial should hopefully help you change that. It’s a brief run through on how to clean up your desktop. 15 minutes is all that’s needed. Hope you enjoy it.

The resources I mention in the video can be found at the following links:

• Rocket Dock: Application Launcher.
• Samurize: An advanced system monitoring and desktop enhancement engine for Windows. The config file I mention is found here. Right click and “save as”
• The FWA : The Favourite Website Awards. Follow the link at the top for wallpapers.
• DeviantArt: Another great resource for wallpapers but also icons. Navigate the left hand side menu to switch between wallpapersand icons etc.
