How to Organize Your Computer Desktop
So, tell me: who has a messy computer desktop full of icons everywhere? Just like a messy office, I’ve found that a cluttered computer desktop really makes me feel scattered and disorganized. Fortunately, there’s help if you still want to keep a lot of icons on your desktop.
