Shortcut icons are very convenient, but they have a way ofcluttering your desktop. The Desktop Cleanup Wizard solves the problem!The wizard clears your desktop of icons you haven't clicked on during the past 60 days and sweeps them into a single desktop foldertitled Unused Desktop Files. You can open the file to retrieve any ofthe icons (clicking on them places them back on your desktop), or youcan easily send them to the Recycle Bin.
What is Desktop? its the on-screen work area on which windows, icons, menus, and dialog boxes appear.

To enable the Desktop Cleanup Wizard:
  • Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
  • Click Appearance and Themes.
  • Under Pick a task, click Change the screen resolution.
  • On the Desktop tab, click Customize Desktop.
  • Select the Run Desktop Cleanup Wizard every 60 days check box, and then click OK.

Ifyou want to clean your desktop of unused files between the dates thewizard visits, simply follow steps 1 through 4 described above, andthen click the button labeled Clean Desktop Now.
