I spend a lot of time customizing my desktop. I have 2 monitors, one larger which I use for browsing which has Rocketdock with all my shortcuts, the smaller monitor has a simple calendar, recycle bin, start menu, taskbar and a sticky note. I have Rainmeter installed but am not using it right now, I found I didn’t look at it at all.

Classic Shell is really awesome. Thanks for the suggestion. I just recently installed in on my Windows 8 PC and really like the added functions. Thanks for commenting!

I just included one dock and RocketDock made the cut. Objectdock is certainly another great free option though! Thanks for commenting!

Okay good list. But missing best one? Splinter? I before used to use Rocketdock plus Fences but Splinter does better work for me. Much more customize with Splinter.

Great Information, lots of things for me to try. Fences is no longer free, but it was worth the 10.00. Thanks for the info.

Like all of ur ideas, but the whole idea behind a sticky Note is a quick jot-down with Pen & note…Crawler desktop notes is just that easy…No frills, bell or whistles…

I choose “nothing”. In Windows 7 I create a folder called “a” in my second partition. I fill it full of shortcuts to the applications I use. I right click on the taskbar, go to Toolbars, and select new toolbars. Windows pops up with ‘Choose a folder’, and I select “a”. It creates a (very small) location on the taskbar that, when clicked, scrolls up with all the shortcuts. Very simple and elegant, an leaves the desktop clear for the backgrounds I run as a slideshow.

I love an organized desktop. Fences is great because it prevents my icons from shifting around against my will. It’s really great.
