How to easily keep your desktop tidy and instantly find the files you need. Convenient storage of shortcuts from your desktop! Program for managing desktop icons

A program for sorting icons on your computer desktop into any category. Allows you to organize icons if there are too many of them.

Despite the fact that in the new Windows versions are trying to find new approaches to organizing the workspace, the familiar desktop is still clearly not going to give up its position. You will agree that it is very convenient to have all the most necessary shortcuts, folders and documents always before your eyes...

The only problem is that over time, piles of icons begin to accumulate on our desktop, which we “just can’t do without” :). I, too, needless to say, suffer from a “mania” for storing icons, and before my monitor was so full of them that there was no free space left.

But one day, while carrying out another “cleaning”, I decided to look for how others were coping with this problem. The result of my search was the program that will be discussed in today’s article.

How the program works

Fences is one of the few applications that allows you to quickly create sections on your desktop to group your shortcuts, folders and files. The principle of the program is that you create special areas on your desktop - "fence"(from the English “fence”), and use them to protect an unlimited number of icons (when the “fence” is filled, a vertical scroll appears).

Thus, you can cram an almost unlimited number of icons into one section, thereby freeing up space on your desktop!

Comparison of Fences FREE with the paid version of Fences PRO

The Fences program exists in two versions: free and paid. Therefore, I propose to compare the functionality of both editions:

In fact, all the advantages of the paid version come down to additional beauties and do not in any way affect the functionality of the program in general. The only thing that, in my opinion, is really missing is the ability to use autosorting :(. But, as they say, there is a fly in the ointment for every barrel of honey :)

Installing Fences

To get started with the program, the first thing we need to do is install it on your PC. To do this, as always, download the archive with the installer and run the file from it fences_public.exe.

After launching it, the program installation wizard will appear, which, despite the English-language interface, is very simple and clear - all the work, in fact, consists of constantly pressing the “Next” button.

After the installation is complete, the following window will appear in front of you:

Here we are offered to either choose a ready-made layout for placing sections on the desktop, or create our own sections ourselves. If you want, of course, you can click on the first button and use the standard options, but I suggest clicking the second and “Create fences yourself”!

Creating a new section for icons

After clicking the second button, the program settings window will appear in front of you (we will work with it later) on the “Fences” tab:

Here is a miniature of the desktop with the sections placed on it. Since we haven’t created a single “fence,” nothing is displayed on the thumbnail. But it won't last long :).

In order to learn how to manually create your own sections, you can click the “Create a fence” link under the thumbnail and read the text that appears, or you can read our article further ;)

So, everything is extremely simple! To create a new partition, just hold down the right mouse button on the free space of the desktop and, while holding it, pull it slightly to the side (as if selecting files).

After which a selection will actually appear, and to the side of it (after releasing the mouse) the “Create new fence here” button. Click on the button and we get the opportunity to set a name for our section:

For example, let’s create a “fence” “My Computer” and place standard shortcuts in it, such as My Computer, Network Neighborhood, My Documents, etc. To do this, simply select the necessary icons and drag the mouse into the section we created. All is ready! :)

Fences program settings

After creating your first “fence”, you can, in principle, leave the program alone and “fence” the following sections. However, you can play around a little and change it a little appearance our areas with icons.

If there is such a desire, then you need to hover the mouse over the newly created section and call up its context menu by right-clicking:

In the menu, in addition to the standard set of commands for the desktop, we will see four items related to the operation of Fences. The “Delete” and “Rename” items, I think, do not need additional explanation.

The “Hide desktop icons” item allows, oddly enough, to completely hide all shortcuts, leaving a bare desktop :). This feature may appeal to radical users who want to see a beautiful background picture or are trying to make fun of their friends :).

After the first activation of this function, a calming window will appear, which explains to us where everything has disappeared:

As can be seen from the explanation, the shortcuts will be hidden by double-clicking with the left mouse button on the free space of the desktop. Double-clicking again will return everything as it was :). In order not to see the above window every time, just check the “Don’t show this message again” checkbox.

However, now we are most interested in the “Customize Fences” item. After activating it, a somewhat familiar program settings window will appear in front of us. However, this time we will need to go to the second section “View”:

Here, as can be seen from the screenshot, you can configure the mode for displaying section names (I recommend setting "Always", but this is not for everyone :)), the style and color of the background, as well as the color of the section name and several additional parameters.

Using the runners, you can customize any shade of your “fences” and achieve their maximum harmony with the wallpaper of your desktop.

Additional program parameters

In the program settings window, we looked at the first two tabs, however, if you like to thoroughly understand all the intricacies of how applications work, then you definitely need to take at least one look at the third section - “Service”:

On the first page of the “Service” tab you will find two options. The first of them concerns hiding desktop icons by double clicking. This function You can either disable it completely or specify exceptions: icons that will always be displayed.

The second function concerns taking screenshots of the desktop, which record the position of the created partitions. You can take several screenshots with different locations of the “fences”, and using the partition repositioning function, you can quickly change their placement:

However, these two functions are not all... Below you can see the “Advanced options” link, clicking on which you can go to the second page of the “Service” tab:

Here we get access to two more functions. The first concerns maintaining the proportions of the created sections when changing the screen resolution. If you sometimes have to change screen sizes, then this feature will be very useful.

The second function - “Auto Layout” - allows you to sort all your desktop icons into standard categories with one click. However, this approach to sorting is very questionable, therefore, it is better to spend a little time and manually put everything in its place than to then look for where the automation hid the required document :)

Finally, the last checkbox allows you to enable/disable Fences.

Since the “Help” and “About” tabs will not give us any new information, our acquaintance with Fences can be considered complete :). It's time to look at the results of our efforts:

In my opinion, it looks quite nice :) Dozens of shortcuts, folders and files, which previously occupied the entire desktop, are quite compactly arranged in just four columns. In addition, we created the categories ourselves, which means we can find the necessary data easily and quickly!

Advantages and disadvantages of the Fences program

  • compact placement of many icons on the desktop;
  • creating your own categories for sorting;
  • ability to customize the appearance of areas with icons;
  • the ability to quickly hide all icons;
  • integration into explorer.exe to save system resources.
  • longer Windows boot(if you have an old PC);
  • there is no way to sort icons within sections;
  • Sometimes, after exiting full-screen applications (for example, games), the position of the icons spontaneously changes.

conclusions

In conclusion, I would like to say that it is still preferable to periodically clean your desktop and store a minimum amount of information on it. However, most often you see a picture where there is absolutely no order on the desktop, and icons and folders sometimes take up almost all the space.

Therefore, if you really don’t want to completely give up a bunch of icons, then you can, at least visually, restore order in your workspace by installing the Fences program.

It is much better when the desktop is clean, beautiful wallpaper is installed and at the same time there is quick access to all the shortcuts that were once on the desktop. How to do this, I will tell you in this post...

Let's clean up our desktop!

The wonderful program “FreeLaunch” will help us bring complete order to our desktop.
FreeLaunch is designed for convenient storage of shortcuts from the Desktop; you can also store folders, documents and much more in it.

What I liked most about this program is that you can create up to eight tabs, that is, it is possible to group shortcuts into categories - Programs, Games, etc.

The program can accommodate 600 elements.
Judge for yourself, you can fit 75 elements on one tab, and there are 8 tabs, it turns out 75 * 8 = 600. An excellent result, that’s even a lot!

How to quickly access shortcuts.
The program sits quietly and does not interfere with work in the system tray (This is where the clock is). One click on the icon allows you to expand the program and gain access to shortcuts, without the need to minimize all the windows that are open in the system and look for the application you need on the desktop in a bunch of shortcuts...

Setting up the program
The setup is quite simple. By default, after the first launch, the program looks like this:

In order to place a shortcut in the program, you just need to drag it from the Workbench into one of the free cells of the program, and the shortcut itself can already be deleted from the Workbench.

The application supports Russian language, but the default is English.
To install the Russian language, go to settings. In the System Tray, RMB (Right Mouse Button) click on the program icon and select “ Settings»

The program settings window will open, select Russian language and click the “ok” button

Now the program is completely in Russian and that’s good!

So, the Russian language is installed, you can continue to conveniently analyze the program settings.
As you may have already noticed, there are not many settings, and there is nothing complicated, so let’s briefly talk about the main thing.

Field " Tabs“Here the user is given the opportunity to indicate how many tabs he needs to have in the program; as I said above, you can put up to 8 tabs. To rename a deposit, right-click on it and select rename:

Field " Rows» This specifies how many rows of cells will be displayed horizontally. By default there are only 2 rows, the largest number of rows is 5.

Field " Buttons» By default, 10 buttons are displayed - these are the very cells where you need to drag shortcuts. You can specify up to 15 pieces.

Field " Gap"This opportunity. Most likely, it will be useful for people with low vision. Using this feature, you can specify the distance between cells from 1 to 5 pixels.

Of the other settings, it is worth paying attention Startup And hiding programs after system startup.
If you prevent a program from starting with the system, then after starting, you will have to manually launch the program in order to gain access to the shortcuts. I recommend leaving autorun on.

As for hiding at the start, it depends on whoever is comfortable with it. I checked the “Hide at startup” checkbox so that after startup, I first need the browser, and it is pinned in the taskbar and only then other applications….
(To be honest, I completely forgot the last time I turned off my PC).

Heading, Type of tabs, size of icons - here at your discretion, as you like best, I left everything as it is!!!

Now thanks to " FreeLaunch"I have a clean Desktop, and my wife always asks why I deleted all the shortcuts from the Desktop :)

Perhaps it’s time to end the post here, it seems like I didn’t forget anything important and said everything I wanted.

Windows is the most popular in the world operating system, and currently under its management, according to the resource Net Applications.com (http://marketshare.hitslink.com/), approximately 92% of personal computers. Such an impressive figure clearly indicates that the developers of this OS really managed to create a reliable and easy-to-use system. However, as you know, the ideal is always unattainable, and therefore, with all the advantages of Windows, it can be made even more convenient by connecting a number of utilities from third-party manufacturers. It is such programs that will be discussed in this article.

Tidying up your Windows desktop

For many users, chaos reigns on the PC desktop: shortcuts, files, folders, images and web links are scattered across them, often without any logic. As a result, the simplest and quick way gaining access to data and launching applications - that is, from the desktop - in practice is not at all so fast, because most often it is not immediately possible to find the right one among the host of shortcuts. To make it easier to organize shortcuts, folders, files and links on your desktop, you can set wallpaper with colorful fragments and distribute shortcuts and other elements present on the desktop among them. In the future, this will help significantly save search time.

However, there is an even better way - use the Fences utility, free for non-commercial use (http://www.stardock.com/products/fences/; 9.03 MB; $19.95). With its help, it is easy to instantly restore order on your desktop by conveniently distributing chaotically scattered shortcuts into thematic blocks (Fig. 1). These blocks appear highlighted on the desktop and, of course, delimited, which allows you to quickly find the necessary elements. The easiest way to carry out such a desktop reorganization is to select one of the ready-made Fences layouts, as a result of which icons and other elements are automatically grouped depending on their category (programs, files and documents, folders, etc.). After this, you can manually adjust the position and size of the blocks, their name, transparency level and color, as well as a number of other parameters. If none of the built-in layouts appeal to you, then the developers also provide alternative way reorganize your desktop by designing your own layout. For such a layout, all blocks are created manually, and desktop elements are also manually distributed among them.

Rice. 1. The result of organizing your desktop using Fences

Along with shortcuts chaotically scattered across the desktop, no less problematic when working is the clutter of open windows, switching between which in practice is not so easy if there are already more than five to ten (ten, of course, only in the case of a widescreen monitor) window buttons on the taskbar . And it also takes a lot of time to arrange windows on the screen so that they do not overlap each other. It’s not difficult to deal with these problems if you connect the following to the case: free utilities, like WinSplit Revolution and GhostWin.

By using the WinSplit Revolution utility (http://www.winsplit-revolution.com/; 1.49 MB), you can quickly adjust the position and size of windows in the visible space of the screen to ensure more productive work with them. The screen can be automatically divided into several parts (from two to six), each of which will display user-selected windows (Fig. 2). Thus, you will no longer have to spend time dragging windows around the screen, and the screen's working space will be used more efficiently. Obviously, the greatest benefit from this utility will be received by users working on modern widescreen monitors with high resolution, since the screen sizes of such monitors allow you to easily place several windows, allocating each of them its own piece of workspace. Managing the placement of windows using WinSplit Revolution is easy: you can arrange the windows you want in the desired way by pressing certain keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl + Alt + 1, Ctrl + Alt + 2, etc.) or by clicking on the buttons of the pop-up panel called up by clicking on icon in the system tray. Another good thing is that after restarting the computer, there is no need to restore the location of the windows, since the program (with appropriate settings) remembers the coordinates and sizes of windows on the desktop and restores them in exactly the same form after the reboot.

Rice. 2. Possible variant quick placement of working windows
with WinSplit Revolution

A program for sorting icons on your computer desktop into any category. Allows you to organize icons if there are too many of them.

Screenshot gallery

Windows 8 showed us that the PC workspace can have a perhaps not entirely familiar, but convenient tiled interface. However, not everyone appreciated this innovation and were able to abandon the usual Desktop.

And why? The desktop is quite comfortable, roomy, and its functionality can be expanded with a variety of widgets. And it will be no worse than in the notorious G8.

However, the Desktop has one bad property - over time, piles of shortcuts accumulate on it, which we do not always use, or use very rarely...

But, fortunately, this problem is not so terrible :). If you are determined to clean up the icons on your desktop once and for all, then the program can help you with this sTabLauncher.

Comparison with a paid analogue

At its core, sTabLauncher is a kind of dock bar, so its closest paid analogue can be called the popular ObjectDock:

sTabLauncher may not be as functional as its paid counterpart, but, nevertheless, it performs its duties properly. And in terms of customization, it even outperforms ObjectDock, since it allows you to customize literally all interface elements!

Program installation

Before installation, make sure that you have at least version 2 of the .NET Framework libraries installed. If anything, you can download them from the official Microsoft website.

If everything is in order with the libraries, then you can run the program installer from the downloaded archive. Then press the “Next” button until we reach the next window:

Here we will be asked to install the popular Babylon translator, the basic version of which is free, but additional functions activated only by subscription. I advise you to discard unnecessary software “ballast” by checking the “Don’t Install Babylon 9” option. Next, we complete the installation in the usual way for us, without changing anything.

Getting started with the program

After installation, sTabLauncher will not launch itself, as other programs usually do, so to get started we will need to launch the utility using a shortcut on the desktop. When you launch the application for the first time, you will be asked to select an interface language. Naturally, we select “Russian” (if we skip this step, we will get the English version):

After selecting the language, click “Ok” and a translucent menu for launching sTabLauncher programs will appear in front of us at the top of the screen:

If you hover your cursor over one of the tabs of this menu, it will expand and we will see shortcuts for applications placed there by default:

Any shortcuts can be replaced or deleted altogether, and by sorting the icons we need into different tabs, we can completely clear the Desktop of unnecessary icons. Moreover, the advantage of organizing labels this way is that you can quick access access them from any application!

That is, if earlier, in order to get to the Desktop, we had to minimize open windows, then now we just need to move the cursor to the top of the screen. This also has its drawbacks, but we will talk about them and their elimination a little below.

Program menu

The main menu of the program is called by right-clicking on the free area of ​​the main panel with shortcuts:

Here we have access to program settings, quickly adding shortcuts and separators, as well as pinning pop-up menu items. The last block of functions requires additional explanation:

  1. “Pin icons” means preventing them from moving within a tab.
  2. “Lock Tabs” - prevents main menu tab positions from moving.
  3. “Pin the panel” means to block the function of changing the position of the pop-up menu.

Accordingly, if none of the above options is activated, then we can use drag-and-drop to change the structure of the program launch menu as we please!

Ways to add new shortcuts to the sTabLauncher panel

There are two ways to add a new shortcut to sTabLauncher. The simplest one is to drag the desired icon onto the panel directly from the Desktop or from any folder. In this case, the new icon automatically changes its size in accordance with the tab settings, and also receives a signature from the name of the shortcut.

After adding the icon to the launcher, the original shortcut from the Desktop can be deleted - we will no longer need it.

If you want to change an existing icon in the menu quick launch or add a new and unique one, then the corresponding context menu items will be useful to you - “Settings” (for existing shortcuts) and “Add element” (for new ones):

In the screenshot above you can see the result of adding a new shortcut for my working folder with articles and programs. If you look at the “Icon Properties” window, we can roughly divide it into four parts:

  1. "Image". This is the first section, which is located in the upper left part of the window. It allows you to overlay arbitrary text on the selected icon, which is specified in the “Title” field. For the created inscription, you can set any font, size, color and position.
  2. "Application". This section (top right) allows you to set the address of the application, folder or website that should open when you click on the icon. The “Title” field here is responsible for displaying the caption that pops up when you hover over the shortcut, and the “Application” contains the address of the resource being opened. Launch functions with parameters and keys are also available for programs here. In addition, this section contains three more tabs that allow you to add and configure a separator, player and plugins (unfortunately, I couldn’t run any of them on my PC :().
  3. "Current Image". Contains a preview of the finished icon with all the effects applied to it.
  4. "Available images." Here we display the icon options for the selected program. If the program (or folder) does not have an icon, then we can either select any image as the last one (the “Add” button or simply drag and drop), or specify one of the standard icons (the “System” button).

After completing the work of adding an element, we just need to click the “Ok” button and it (the element) will appear in the location we specified.

Program settings

So far we have only figured out how to manage the contents of the sTabLauncher panel. Now we will learn how to control the behavior and appearance of the program! To do this, call the main context menu and click “Settings”:

The settings window consists of seven sections, each of which contains its own parameters. By default, the “General” tab opens in front of us. Here we can choose:

  • position of the start menu appearance (if you select “Bottom”, you will have to either change the menu position settings or hide the standard panel Windows tasks, since it will simply close the sTabLauncher panel);
  • autostart of the program (although, even if you do not activate it, the program will start along with the system;
  • language (if you forgot to change it when you first started the program);
  • functions for importing and exporting settings.

Launchpad appearance settings

What appeals to me about sTabLauncher is the ability fine tuning appearance of its tabs. To do this, use the “Tabs” settings section:

From this window we can “Add” new tabs or “Delete” or change the currently selected tab. For each section of the panel, we can set description parameters (title, its appearance and position), as well as style.

The latter consists of settings for the edges, background, tab label, as well as the background color. In addition, we can add an icon for any tab in PNG format. To do this, click the “Browse” button in the “Icon” section and select one of the standard ones or your own picture.

If standard themes are not enough for you, you can download additional skins from a special section of the official website.

Also, you can add a special type of tab - a music tab:

To do this, click the “Add Music Tab” button in the “Quick Setup” section. It is a plugin that allows you to play playlists and online radio stations, a small number of which you will find on the tab after its activation.

Other program settings

Among other settings, we can mention the ability to customize all icons on the sTabLauncher tabs (section “Icons”), animation of the menu appearance and its behavior (corresponding settings tabs). Separately, I would like to dwell on one nuance that I mentioned at the beginning of the article.

The fact is that in the open position the program panel overlaps part of the workspace at the top (or bottom) of the screen. This is very annoying when working in full screen mode (for example, with a web browser).

So that the start menu is not blocked by itself work area you can simply hide it using the settings:

To do this, go to the “Advanced” tab and activate the “Hide sTabLauncher completely when docked to the edges of the screen” option.

We have achieved complete hiding of the menu, but when you move the cursor to the top of the screen, it still pops out. To minimize the percentage of false positives, we need to reduce the “Distance to start panel transfer” slider to a minimum. You can also increase the delay for calling the menu. This can be done in the “Behavior” tab in the “Open sTabLauncher” section.

The last thing I would like to mention is the ability to operate sTabLauncher in portable mode. That is, we can store all the settings in a special file in the program folder, which will allow us to transfer our start menu without changes, for example, after reinstalling the system!

To do this, in the “Advanced” tab, activate the “Keep the configuration file on the application’s directory” item.

Advantages and disadvantages of the program

  • ability to work with tabs;
  • ability to hide the launcher;
  • extensive options for customizing the appearance of the program;
  • support for Internet shortcuts;
  • ability to add separators.
  • there is no function for grouping shortcuts into nested submenus;
  • no tab scrolling function;
  • required additional settings to display the menu at the bottom of the screen.

conclusions

sTabLauncher is a completely modern and functional dock bar that can work on all versions of Windows. Personally, I liked it for its customization options. Unlike its analogues, this program allows you to configure the launcher so that it is completely hidden, without thereby blocking the workspace!

Therefore, if you want to reduce the number of icons on your desktop and have access to the most frequently used programs, folders, documents and even sites, then sTabLauncher may be just your choice!

Any person who actively works at a computer accumulates a lot of program icons, various documents, folders, links, etc. on the “Desktop”. Over time, finding anything in this dump of dozens and hundreds of icons becomes more and more difficult.

It would seem that solving this issue is quite simple: group icons directly on the Desktop according to their purpose, or according to some other criteria of yours. But, unfortunately, this solution is not durable... The arrangement of icons quite often spontaneously gets confused and after that they have to be rearranged again.

The icons on the Desktop will definitely get lost when you change the display resolution settings. For example, I often connect a large external monitor to my laptop, which has a screen resolution completely different from that of a laptop. And, of course, each such connection disrupts the grouping of icons on the desktop.

In the computer world it’s like this - if there’s a problem, then they’ve probably already come up with some solutions! So in this case... Previously, I used the Enterra Icon Keeper program, which was created specifically for this, to solve this problem. But, firstly, it doesn’t always do its job, it’s outdated, you need to manually switch sets of icons, and you also need to remember to save the new configuration after adding each new icon.

Lately I have been using a much more convenient, elegant and functional program - Fences. You can download it from here.

This program allows you to collect desktop icons into separate groups, each of which has its own name and looks like a shaded translucent window. Actually, such a group is called the word " fence", which can be translated as "fence" or "fence".

This is what my main desktop looks like now (click to enlarge).

You can create these groups very easily and simply, drag the desired icons into them, customize their size, appearance, position on the desktop, etc. It is very convenient that when you switch the screen resolution, the sizes of these groupsautomatically adjustfor the new screen resolution. Now I no longer need to make multiple settings configurations for different resolutions screen and switch these configurations manually!

After installing the Fences program, it will create three groups on the desktop: “Programs”, “Folders” and “Files and Documents”. To add a new group, you just need to right-click on an empty space on the screen and drag the cursor a little across the screen while holding down the mouse button. As a result, a shaded window for the new group will appear on the screen and a menu of two items will appear:
- Create Fence here(Create a group here)
- Create Folder Portal here(Create a group from a folder here)

What other useful features does the Fences program have...

As I already said, the “windows” of the groups themselves are translucent, and therefore, in principle, your wonderful desktop picture, which you probably spent a lot of time selecting, is visible through them. But it is not very visible, especially if there are a lot of icons on the screen. Therefore, sometimes it is very convenient to quickly clear the Desktop of all icons and groups. This is done very simply: double-click the left mouse button in any area of ​​the screen free from icons. All this equipment is returned to the screen by the same double-click on the screen.

IN latest version programs ( Fences 2.0) new wonderful features have been added that take the convenience of working on a computer to a new level.

Now you can automatically sort your files and program icons into appropriate groups using the function Auto-Organizer(auto-ordering). This function allows you to set rules: which files will fall into which group. This is useful if you frequently add new files.

Function Folder Portals(Folder Portals) allows you to create a group (in the sense of a fence) from any folder for quick access to its contents directly on the Desktop.

To make such a group, you need to drag the folder onto free place holding down Alt key. Another way: right-click on the folder and select " Show this folder on the desktop" (Show this folder on the desktop). After this, you can change the size of the group simply by “stretching” it by the edges, and also customize the appearance of the files in it and organize them the way you like.

If you actively use Folder Portal (groups of folders), you will quickly find that there is no longer enough space on one screen for everything you would like to have at hand. And this is where another function of the program comes in handy: Screen Pages(Screen pages). It allows you to have multiple “virtual screens” and quickly switch between them.

You can switch between “Screen Pages” in several ways:
- left-click on the left or right side of the screen and drag the mouse along the screen without releasing the mouse button (much like on a smartphone);
- click the mouse on any part of the desktop and then simultaneously press the Alt key and the Right or Left key.

But when I first tried to switch screens, nothing worked. It turned out that you first need to drag something to the second screen: an icon or a group. This operation is also very simple (like everything in this program)... Left-click on the icon or group header, “drag” this object to the left or right border of the screen, and hold it there for a second. After this, the next “Screen Page” appears, onto which we “throw” the dragged object.

I note that Folder Portals(Folder Portals) and Screen Pages (Screen Pages) work only under Windows 7 and higher.

The latest version of Fences is no longer free (costs $9.99). There is a trial period (for 30 days) that allows you to evaluate its capabilities in practice and feel the benefits of it.

I believe that Fences is perhaps the most useful of the numerous class of programs for the Desktop. I think that it will appeal to people who like order in everything, or who simply work a lot at the computer.
