Make Your Windows Desktop Truly Your Desktop
by Jim Calloway, Director Oklahoma Bar Association Management Assistance Program

Is your desktop crowded with icons for applications you do not use? We understand that you are concerned about deleting something that you might use later. So toss them in the closet. Right click on the blank space on your desktop and create a new folder called closet. Drag all those unused icons over to the closed and drop them there, out of sight. You can send any icon to the desktop as a shortcut by right clicking on it and then selecting send to desktop (as shortcut).

When keystrokes are mentioned with a plus sign (e.g. Alt + Tab) it means that both keys should be pressed simultaneously.

When actions are separated by a dash (e.g. Click File - Print ) it means that they should be done in sequence.
