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.

No one has mentioned a hybrid solution that I use though: I love a clean desktop but like most people I like to use it as a central workspace as well. My solution is to hide the icons on the desktop and have a shortcut to the desktop folder in my Quicklaunch toolbar. That way I can use the handy shell commands (right-click Send to Desktop etc) and still have a saved view for all of my regular items I love all these ideas.

That way your system will load much faster when you log on. It is especially important if you use roaming profiles. Good Idea , but you should only keep shortcuts to the files on the desktop.
