edit:::

http://awc.smurphy.co.uk/ thats the site i got it from, then just put the program in your startup folder... and then play around with the settings in the program...

Just going to put something out in the open. Possibly for gazag but maybe not. I have actually convinced people with the following.

Most programs on a desktop are shortcuts, correct. They are called shortcuts for a reason. When you have a cluttered desktop, with say 3+ rows of icons. It sort of defeats the purpose of a shortcut and eventually makes it harder to navigate what was intentionally meant to be easier. A shortcut is a shortcut, leave it at that. Folders on a desktop, example, "pics", should just go in the pictures section of my documents? Just about any folder you could make already has a proper place to be. If it doesn't, make a new one in my documents. All in all when you keep up with simple organizing you should only have 1, maybe 2 rows max of icons. Thus, keeping it 'easy' to navigate and use shortcuts, as well as 'other' folders full of who knows what! It also gives a much cleaner feel to the desktop itself and allows for the wallpaper to actually be seen. [/over exaggerated truth] Just my opinion though, my friend Dane actually prefers a messy desktop. If only I could show you his, their isn't an open space on the thing.

I recommend keep any folders named "Animal fighting" or "Elephants at play" away from sight. [;)][lol]
