It's easy to store files and folder on the desktop, but it can get very messy. This video shows how to get the desktop organized.
- [Narrator] Let's look at how you can and how you can get things cleaned up when you have too much stuff on the desktop. In some ways the desktop is just an extension of File Explorer. you can go to the Desktop folder, to go to the Desktop folder. This folder shows the same stuff that's sitting out on the desktop. Right now, on my computer, this folder is empty. Now of course you could save something directly on the desktop, some other location on your drive, and move it to the desktop. And that's what I want to do. I'm going to go to my Documents folder, to No Obstacles where I have a bunch of files. I want to select them all, so I'll click on the first one, straight to the desktop, and you'll see they will move to the desktop itself. I want to grab a couple other things, so I'm going to go to the Documents folder again. This time I'll just grab these two folders, to the Desktop folder here in File Explorer, and still, they appear here on the desktop. how to keep them organized. So, you could position these icons manually, you'll get this menu, all of the pictures are together, Now, the folders are grouped together alphabetically, but what we do have here
