How to remove everythig from desktop?

[ranjan2001]

I just created a folder called DeskTop Extras & put everything extra in there!

Great!!
But it does not do what I want, I am using that method too but its not very helpful.

I found a program which can do this based on extensions & other parameters but I cant get it working on windows 7

This is what I use to keep mine clean looking, but still have easy access to everything I want when I need it.

That helps a bit at least the features are cool & I can now post my clean looking desktop but sadly it does not redirect the files to a folder.
