You need "WindowBlinds". Try http://www.wincustomize.com/index.aspx

You are limited as to how much you download from this site but I think about 50mb is free after which you need to buy one of the Stardock programs.

Re: How cluttered is your desktop?

I do not use any program to install my themes, I use a uxtheme.dll patcher from neowin, then I download themes from Neowin or themexp.org and extra to c:/windows/resources

Works a Charm.

Re: How cluttered is your desktop?

an untidy desktop defeats the point of shortcuts, as you have to search for the icon, be quicker selecting it from the menu

Re: How cluttered is your desktop?

My most commonly used programs get automatically put at the front of the windows menu bar so I just quickly launch them off that.
I cant stand a cluttered desktop.
I also feel it loads faster when uncluttered.

Hear! Hear!

I only have a recycle bin and Firefox. Anything else is on the task bar or start menu.

Don't let anyone get near your mouse! All it would take is a right click and anyone could alter your layout.
