[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1881920, member: 396914"] I fully support the suggestions to clean up your desktop display. However, I recognize that sometimes it just gets away from a user in the middle of a project. When I have that happen, to clean it up I create a folder, on the Desktop, and name it "Was Desktop <<date>>" where I put the date of the cleanup, then I drag/drop just about everything on the desktop to that folder and then move it to my user area. I leave behind the drives and one or two folder of material I do want to keep on the desktop, but everything else goes into that folder and gets put away. The good news is that Finder can search for anything, as can EasyFind and FindAnyFile. So even though it's not on the Desktop, those things can be found with a quick search again later to get back to them. OK, with that out of the way, I'm still struggling with your "list." When I click on items on my desktop, the get highlighted, not added to a "list" like you are displaying. What tool are you using to make that list? EDIT: In looking at it, it looks vaguely like Finder, but with almost everything compressed out by squeezing it into such a narrow display. [/QUOTE]
