Organize Your Desktop

You can make your Mac desktop easier to scan and navigate by organizing the icons. The Mac desktop automatically displays icons for objects such as inserted CDs and DVDs, disk images, and attached iPods. The desktop is also a handy place to store files, file aliases, copies of documents, and more. However, the more you use your desktop as a storage area, the more the desktop can become disarrayed, making it hard to find the icon you want. You can fix this by organizing the icons.
