SUMMARY: Prevent Windows XP from asking to clean up messy Desktops.
Depending on your computer configuration, every 60 days Windows XP may ask you to run the Desktop Cleanup Wizard. This moves icons Windows XP deems unused to a folder to help keep your desktop clear. If you're like me and keep lots of icons available on the Desktop for quick access, you don't want to run this tool:
1. Right-click an empty area of the Desktop and choose "Properties".
2. When the "Display Properties" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, click the "Desktop" tab.
3. Click the "Customize Desktop" button.
4. The "Desktop Items" multi-tabbed dialog box should appear. Select "General".
5. Uncheck "Run Desktop Cleanup Wizard"
6. Click "OK" on the dialog boxes to close.
