If you're a techie, you've probably got too many programs and icons for your desktop. That makes it difficult to find the program you're looking for. In Linux the solution is easy, just organize program access by moving your desktop icons to another of the (usually) four desktop views.

Win XP 's Power Tools also has Deskman and there are several shareware and commercial products that supposedly offer solutions. The ones I tried, however, concentrate on separate desktops for running separate applications and not decluttering one's desktop.

Dexpot, however, does offer four (or more) desktops with separate icons by using their "Desktop Windows" icons utility. There are some major bugs I discovered that can make it frustrating, however:

<big>The "removed" icons for the 1st desktop will unfortunately "reappear" if you:

(1) "arrange icons by" - autoarrange
(2) "arrange icons by" - align to grid
(3) make icons sizes different for each desktop
(4) make screen resolution different for each desktop
(5) change screen resolution
(6) change icon size.

If you can live with those "gotchas", it's a great, very useful program.

It's a real shame about the different "screen resolution" bug.
I would have liked to quickly test HTML web layout at both 1024x768 and 800x600.
