Most effective way to organize desktop icons?

Monday, January 19, 2009 by Manick2005 | Discussion: OS Customization

Hi, I am a new user to Stardock products and I was wondering what product would best help me in organizing my shortcuts and/or desktop icons.

The biggest problem I run into when looking at my desktop, is that newly saved files have such long names that I have to click on them to see the full name.  However, there are a number of programs out there that allow the desktop icons to appear as "list" or "tiles" Views.  This usually allows you to see the full name of the file.  The only issue though, is that the two products I've tried out so far, Objectdock Plus, and Fences beta, cannot accomplish either of these things.  Those two programs I chose to try out came very close to doing what I wanted them to, but neither allowed for a full name view of the shortcuts.

If anyone has an idea of what would work, I would be very grateful if you could share your thoughts.

For what it's worth, I've used Desktop Icon Toy in the past and it has a number of configuration options. You can check it out here.
