The Windows desktop gets cluttered with icons and other user-created objects over time. After you install new programs, you can usually choose to place a convenient icon on the desktop, although with some programs this action is automatic. Developers of the Windows operating system and third-party software may inadvertently clutter your desktop. If you would like organized and uncomplicated access to your programs, you can place preferred icons at the bottom of the screen.
