But using productivity tools helps. And the idea you suggested is fantastic if there can be a software that can do it. It is awesome! Thanks man! Anthony

Has anyone tried to install Windows 3.1 on a current piece of hardware? I thought so; isn't it a scream? Only problem is it won't allow me to install any of my applications or games. Oh well! I guess I can go into "Paint" and create a nice 1280 X 1024 image that segments my desktop icons so my system will look like the old Windows 3.1 or maybe I could enjoy my family pictures as I set up my desktop to change every 15 to 30 minutes while I am working or maybe compromise a little and place some of my family pictures in one of the segments or even two segments. I just don't know! This looks like Windows 3.1; why did we need Windows 95, 98, 98SE, Millinium, XP, Vista and 7?

Now I will create a similar colored image to group them. Thanks for the tip! What a great idea, I always used black background to see the shortcuts better and grouped them close to each other.

You are right, 2 years ago nobody was doing it, perhaps your idea was original.

Fact is, when I wrote this post almost 2 years ago, I searched around the internet trying to find if anyone was doing this. I couldn't find anything. The stardock.com software looks nice. The only disadvantage I see is that it is software which like widgets, will use memory and other system resources. But I agree, it looks super nice. I understand what you’re saying.

It really does boost productivity besides being organised. However, there is an even better software already created out there now. Same concept but with wonderful design. Best of all, it's easy to use and there's a free version too. Check it out here at: http://www.stardock.com/products/fences/ I like your idea very much and had implemented it effectively.
