software for organizing desktop?

[XtremeMaC]

Hi there

i want my desktop to be splitted into 2 or more parts

i mean i want to use the right part of the desktop for my gaming shortcuts folders etc.

upper part for msfn

middle part this/that

etc.

i know i can manually place them but i want to align them (when i remove a file from the desktop i want the next item to be placed there) well i could use the auto arrange option for this but it aligns everything on the desktop

i don't want to use multi desktop.

so is there any software that makes this possible?

Thanks

Well, I dunno of any desktop software that can do that, but I did read an article on PC Mag that can save u search time. The writer pointed out that you can create a desktop wallpaper on photoshop or something that has sections like this:

Saves u the hassle of installing programs...

I hide my desktop so I can see my wallpaper clearly... So u might wanna create folders for ur shortcuts... and label them...

Maybe someone will post some sort of software that can help u out, but these r some options.

thanks for the suggestion but i'm not going to do that.

what? i have to resize the sections when i put another short-cut no way!

i once tried active desktop and put html's and links to programs but that just took so many rams and most of the app's i couldn't launch cause i don't know how to launch a file from html(it always tries to save it with a href) anyhow i didn't try to learn it bc it took to much ram and etc.

any other suggestions ?

The latest nVidia ForceWare drivers do something like what you are describing... I think...

Check out Display Gridlines

no it only organizes the software's position

i just want to organize the icon's on the desktop

Maybe you can code your own AveDesk or ObjectDesktop applet... I have no idea how much work that'd be, but it's worth looking in to.

hmm i'll try that sounds complicated but haven't tried it....

thanks for the suggestion.
