Uppehälle din skrivbords- rengöring för utsikt med den magiska mappen

Får ditt skrivbords- belamrat med en nedladdad zillion sparar spridde alla över förlägga? Säker kan du alltid gör en genväg för att dölja dina skrivbords- symboler, bara det sopar i stort messen under filten. I dag ska vi show dig hur man använder den magiska mappen till uppehällesaker fullständigt.

Den magiska mappen är faktiskt rättvis en Windows sidofältgrej som du kan släpa sparar till, och den kan automatiskt sortera dem in i de riktiga mapparna som baseras på, härskar, som du kan konfigurera lätt.

Använda den magiska mappen

Och välja ”tillfoga grejer” och därefter att släpa den till det skrivbords- eller sidofältet, när du installerar grejen, ska du antagligen behov att tillfoga det, genom rätt-att klicka på sidofältet någonstans.

Den första tiden som du tillfogar grejen till ditt skrivbords- dig, ska meddelas med en snabb start avskärmer…, Jag skulle tjänstledighetar checkboxen bara och klickar på gräsplanen knäppas längst ner.

Nu ska du önskar att öppna upp inställningarna, genom att klicka på lite rycka häftigsymbolen som var den flöten bredvid grejen.

avbilda

Det första tinget som vi ska, är head över till visuellt hjälpmedelfliken och ändrar inställningarna till, allt vad utformar dig som är lik. Jag föredrar standarden utformar, bara dig styrkanågot liknande ”magin” en för.

Om du inte är en fläkta av jätte- grejer, kan du göra den mindre, och att klibba den i tränga någon… är den knappt märkbar bredvid min Mario wallpaper.

Utan vidare att konfigurera kan vi starta att använda friktionen för grejen… precis en spara på den magiska mappen…,

Och du ska meddelas för ett mappläge till den flyttningen sparar till, från en lista av favorit- mappar (som vi kan konfigurera).

Once you’ve selected the folder and clicked the green check button, the file will be moved and you’ll get a confirmation (which we can also turn off).

image

Back in the settings panel, you can take a look at the Folders tab to customize that list of folders from the drop-down above.

image

The first thing I did was turn off the “file move confirmations”, which I found really annoying. You can also choose to move files based on their extensions by checking the top box, which will cause the Extensions tab to be enabled.

image

Now you can use the Extensions tab to choose different file extensions and where they should be moved by default. Most of the common extensions are already configured for you… for instance Word documents will be moved to your Documents folder by default.

image

Note that once you enable the option to move files automatically, you won’t be prompted at all… the files will simply be magically moved.

There’s another option that can be very interesting… the “Watched Folder”, which will create a new folder where the rules are automatically applied…

image

If you turn this option on, you’ll see a new folder in your User directory called “The Magic Folder”. Anything moved to this folder will be processed and moved into the automatic folders without requiring any user intervention.

image

Another note: If you click on the folder you’ll be prompted to open a folder from the drop-down, which is a rather easy way to access your favorite folders without making a bunch of extra icons.

image

This is definitely one of the best Vista Sidebar gadgets I’ve come across. Think it’s enough to keep you from disabling the sidebar?

    Looks great, I´m going to try this Geek. I am probably one of the few people that hates to have anything on my desktop, I like it to be clean and tidy!! (Probably comes from being a Virgo) LOL

  2. Your Friendly Neighborhood Computer Guy

    Very cool! The less clicks I need to make to get a file where I want it, the better. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    And if you don’t like their icons, you can use a .png of your own.

  4. Sean O'Hara

    Or you could just use the Download Sorter extension for Firefox, and have everything sort automatically.

    And why does anyone download stuff to the desktop to begin with? I’ve always configured my browser to use a folder called Downloads in my home directory, that way it’s easy to clean out all the detritus that accumulates.

    I don’t get it: why do you need to add a gadget to do that? Just delete all the shotcuts off your desktop and then don’t save anything there. I have no icons on my Vista or XP desktops but there is no tool required to keep them that way.

    As Sean said: change your default download directory to something else (I use C:/downloads) in FireFox and/or IE and/or Chrome etc.

  6. E

    Great idea. To those who ask why download to desktop, it’s because then I don’t have to browse through my folders to get at it.

    Though it would be nice to have something like this for XP…

  7. beep54

    I would look at this if there was anyway to download it as a stand-alone. My machines are not connected to the net all the time (or even that often).

  8. The Geek

    @beep54

    You don’t need a network connection to use this, or most of the sidebar gadgets.

  9. DemoGeek

    Looks like a good tool to try…hate the interface though!

    Looks nice, but I’ve been really happy with Stardock’s Fences program to keep my desktop clean. Double clicking on the desktop hides and unhides all icons, and the fences themselves are a great solution to a common problem:
