I tried Iconoid but it took over the Ctrl key. No go !

Need for Win XP and beyond.

Thanks.


What you need is to clean up your desktop and then exercise some
discipline about how you populate your desktop.

I have NO icons to applications on my desktop. When installing a new
application or updating an old one, I remove any icon that results from
that installation (after I make sure that the appropriate icon also
exists in my Start menu). After all, such icons are merely shortcuts to
the application and not the application itself.

My desktop is populated only with icons that are shortcuts to files and
folders that I frequently use. Those icons are arranged around the
edges of my desktop, leaving the center mostly empty.
