[I think it's part of Windows] Right click anywhere on the desktop. Select "Arrange icons by" then select "Run desktop cleanup wizard" It creates a folder and moves the icons you haven't been using often into it. As an alternative, and the way I've organized my icons, is to just create folders for the different types of things I have,[cleanup & maintenance, programs, lists, games, etc.] and drag the icons into it. I also use the hidden toolbar that you gave instructions for a while ago.

Right click anywhere on the desktop.
Select “Arrange icons by”
then select “Run desktop cleanup wizard”
