How to fit more icons on your desktop

We keep putting shortcuts to different files and folders on our desktop and after a while you can't even see you wallpaper. There is no space or very little space. Now you are left with three options.

 First---Delete seldom used shortcuts.

Second-Run Desktop Cleanup Wizard. For this right click on any empty space (if its still there) on you desktop.--Arrange Icon by---Run desktop cleanup wizard.

It will give you options. Generally all icons are checked for cleaning. Uncheck whichever icon you still want on desktop. Click next. All checked icons will be moved to a folder 'Unused Desktop Shortcuts'. Now whenever you want to access these icons, just open this folder and you will see these icons there.

Third--Change the amount of space between the icons.

Right click on the desktop--

select properties

click on the appearance tab

click advance button

In the "Item" drop-down, scroll down to Icon Spacing (Horizontal) and Icon Spacing (Vertical); changing the value in the "Size" field will move icons closer together. If you increase the number the icons will move farther apart.

When done, click OK.

To make your existing icons follow these rules, right-click on the desktop, select "Arrange Icons By" and then click Align to Grid.

The go back to the same menu and click "Auto Arrange".

Its done.
