How do I … declutter Windows XP desktop?

This is an issue worth dealing with, as too many icons on a desktop use up available memory. And that in turn can affect the ability of your browser to manage pages smoothly, especially if your machine is using lots of memory on multiple programs.

A simple option is using Microsoft’s built-in desktop cleaner. You’ll find it through control panel, then choose Display. Choose the Desktop tab and then under Customize, you will find the Desktop cleanup choice.

Another option is to use the more powerful TweakUI tool. Among other things, it lets you remove more icons than the Microsoft tool does. Find TweakUI by searching “TweakUI” and “download.”
