A Quick Fix for Your Cluttered Desktop<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Every once in a while, we feature a version of this tip. When we work on computers, we see a lot of desktops. And many of the desktops we see are full of icons. And we’re not above the fray, mine was full of icons too. It happens to most of us. Why? Because most of us learn early that the desktop is a convenient place to put things so they\u2019re easy to find. <\/span><\/p>\n

But, while that may be true in the beginning when, for instance, you\u2019re starting with a new computer, if you keep putting things on your desktop, eventually you won\u2019t be able to find anything. Your desktop will be the hall of fame of clutter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does your desktop look like this?<\/span><\/p>\n

Icons, icons everywhere. Let\u2019s fix that! Right-click on an empty space on your desktop choose \u201cView\u201d then uncheck \u201cShow desktop icons\u201d. See screenshot below:\"Cloudeight<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes! Look how pretty \u2013 when it\u2019s all clean. See?<\/span><\/p>\n

But where did all your stuff go? Well, it\u2019s still there. You can see it by typing Desktop in taskbar search and pressing Enter. Or you can open File Explorer and click on Desktop. But we\u2019re going to show you a better way.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re going to create a Desktop toolbar right on your taskbar where it\u2019s always easily accessible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Right-click on your taskbar and click on \u201cToolbars\u201d and put a checkmark by \u201cDesktop\u201d (as in the screenshot below).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Cloudeight<\/span><\/p>\n

Now look on the right side of your taskbar, just to the left of the notification area? See? There\u2019s your new toolbar.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Cloudeight<\/span><\/p>\n

Now when you click on the double arrows (above) you\u2019ll see a list of items on your desktop \u2013 all neat and in order. See?<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s better than a clean desktop \u2013 one that lets you see your pretty desktop wallpaper \u2013 while making it easy to access all the stuff you put on your desktop?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
