More than one that happens every so often have to sort the desktop of your computer because it covers the entire screen. When that happens on a not-so-large screen, the new files we save on the desktop have no space in sight and are hidden on the far right of the screen.
What can we do to organize your desktop files and have it all organized? Why is it important that we do this? In this article I give you some of the keys so you can better sort the folders.
Why you should have your files sorted
The first thing to be clear is that organize folders is not just a matter of aesthetics , or to see a nice wallpaper. It has other more practical advantages for our company. For example.
- Power faster access to what we need.
- Do not lose files in a folder endless files and having to use the search tool to find.
- Reduce our stress level to make our work simple and convenient.
- Caring for the image of our company. We never know if at any given time our client will have to see our PC to teach him a job. The nice thing is that we have a wallpaper with the logo of the company and, although there are some files, can be distinguished well.
In short, the proper organization of the files is useful for your business , and even if it seems unimportant, is one of the first signs of the care we take of our computer.
How to Organize PC Folders
Although there are some programs that are good for that, we can also do us following a series of good computing practices . These are the keys to make our desktop completely tidy.
1. Create shortcuts only as necessary. The reality is that we only use a small number of programs every day. We do not need to have a directory access on the desktop for everyone. For that we already have the start menu. The best thing is that you delete the shortcuts that you will not use daily and take as a rule to never create them, or delete them directly.
2. Create a document folder. The working files that you are going to use must be saved in a main folder, like "My documents" or another to the use. If you have many folders on the desktop, but neatly, enter them in "My Documents" and create a shortcut.
3. Put descriptive names to files is not good to name the folders that have default name. Use a standard that includes a descriptive and informative word. It is not good to distinguish files with numbers only (New Office document 1, 2, 3, etc.), unless there is a reason (Invoice 1, Invoice 2). Nor should it be too long. It is best to use 3-4 words.
4. Have a download folder. When surfing the Internet, every day we download dozens of files. Pdf, images, excel documents ... do not let all that pile up on your desktop. Search your browser options and indicate that, when downloading a file, save it by default in "My Pictures" or "My Downloads".
5. Browser + My Documents + Trash. If we put ourselves rigorous, these are the three files indispensable in any desktop. 1 browser (if you use Firefox or Chrome, you can pull the shortcut to Internet Explorer away). Then the "My Documents" folder where you will save the files with which you work. And finally the "Recycle Bin", which you must have in one place to visit and often use to get rid of all the garbage.
If you take a rule always keep order, for example, make a quick starting or before shutting down the computer exam , you'll keep your desktop tidy PC, which is much more comfortable to work.
