Due to the nature of Microsoft Windows Active Desktop the
performance of your computer may be affected by the storage of data on your
desktop.
-
In the example below we see a desktop with lots of data stored on
it. Some files, such as the video files, can be quite large and drastically
affect the performance of your computer.

|
-
To keep the data easily accessible create a folder on a hard disk in
your computer. In the example below the folder is labled "New Folder" and is
located in the "D:\" drive of this machine, some users may not have a "D:\"
hard disk and will use the "C:\" hard disk drive.
-
Move the files to the new folder by selecting them with you mouse
and holding the "shift" key while dragging them to the new folder.

|
-
Create a shortcut to your folder on your desktop by right clicking
the desktop and under "New" click on shortcut.
-
Follow the on-screen directions and point your new shortcut to your
new folder.

-
The example below shows a clean desktop with a shortcut to the newly
created folder.
