Clear your desktop....

Things have been a bit quiet on my blog recently, mainly due to attending TechReady 6 in Seattle to learn about the latest and greatest Microsoft technologies, and also due to various training engagements I've been involved in.  However, I'm back to blog!

When looking at your cluttered, document covered desk, did you ever just want to sweep everything off your desk, either for the pleasant feeling of a clean desk, or because you had an important visitor coming?  A great feeling, but easier said than done.

Have you ever thought the same of your Windows desktop?  There are so many people who store practically every document they have on their desktop, for "convenience" (but then struggle to find the document they need!)  Well, with Windows, it's easy to temporarily clear your desktop, whether that be for a customer meeting, or simply for that "minimalist" feeling.  Select "Show Desktop Icons" by right-clicking the desktop, and hover over "View" in Windows Vista, or over "Arrange Icons by" in Windows XP, and boom, a nice, clean, clear desktop.  You can restore your desktop to its original "state" by repeating the above.

Enjoy a clutter-free desktop!
