Organizing your icons

Organizing your Desktop Icons

 

Windows Vista

     

 

The purpose of Desktop icons is to give you quick access to programs, documents and important functions. This task can be made easier by organizing your icons into logical groups. 

Make sure Auto Arrange is not checked

  1. Right click in an empty spot on the Desktop

  2. Go to View

  3. Verify there is no check in front of Auto Arrange.  If there is, click on Auto Arrange to remove check mark.

 

Now let's organize your icons

  1. Right click in an empty spot on the Desktop

  2. Go to Sort By

  3. Click on Name

Desktop - The full-screen display where all Windows activity takes place. Analogous to a real desktop, where you place everything you’re currently working on.

 

Icon - In a graphical user interface (GUI), a small, pictorial, on-screen representation of an object, such as a document, program, folder or disk drive.

Recycle Bin - Starting with Windows 95, a simulated garbage can used for deleting files and folders. The recycle bin keeps the files intact in case the user wants to restore them, but can be "emptied" from time to time to save disk space.
