Are you the sort of person who stores items on your desktop? I am! OK, I am obviously well aware you should not store files on your desktop (as they aren't backed up and it slows the computer down) but I use it to keep shortcuts to web pages (see tip_149.html) or documents of temporary value within easy reach. The downside is that I end up with a messy desktop and spend ages hunting for the right item... until Ramon told me I can use the normal "find trick" I thought I could only use in Windows Explorer.

This tip really resonated with me as I've got way too much on my desk top and keep trying to reduce the number of files, only to replace them after a short time... I've just tried the tip and it's great! I’m really grateful to you and Ramon for this.
