Hi Victor & Gerald, I would first like to thank you both for the great explanations of how Desktop Cleaner Wizard works. Victor, both you and Windows are correct in assuming that I don't have a freaking clue as to what is going on! This is what keeps me on the couch. LOL LOL Seriously though, I thought that running the wizard would automatically take unused Icons off the desktop and I didn't know what kind of time frame Windows used to declare an Icon as being unused. Again, thank you for the excellent explanations of the wizard and how it works. Take care.

Checking this box will run the wizard every 60 days, whether you need it or not. In other words, Windows assumes that you don't know what you're doing, and judging by this message, you don't, LOL, and gives you a reminder that you might need to clean up your desktop if it's got too much stuff on it. Just for FYI. You can also do this yourself by highlighting your My Documents icon on your desktop, pressing enter on it, then pressing the back space key which will display your desktop icons in a list view, which you can go through selecting icons you want to delete or put into a folder you can then create. So you, see you don't really need the desktop clean-up wizard.
