Cleaning Desktop Items

When working on the PC, people tend overuse the desktop as the destination in which they save most of their items to, or at least I do. As a result the desktop ends up with a bunch of items that you do not actually need. This tutorial will help you keep ONLY the items you want to keep on the desktop.

  1. Go to your desktop
  2. Right click and select “Properties
  3. From the Display Properties screen select the “Desktop” tab.
  4. From the Display tab click on the “Customize Desktop” button.
  5. Then click on the “Clean Desktop Now” Button.
  6. This will take you to the Clean Desktop Wizard click “Next
  7. Select the items you want to clean up. Unselect the items you want to keep.(Note: Items selected will not be deleted, they will be moved to the Unused Items shortcut which will be a folder on the desktop)
  8. After figuring out which items you want to move to the Unused Items shortcut click “Next“.
  9. Then click “Finish” to perform the action.
