Virtual Shortcuts

Keeping your desktop a clean and tidy place not only makes it look professional, but saves precious time when you want to find a specific file. Virtual Shortcuts tries to offer an alternative to arranging everything on your desktop in folders, which still take up space.

Offering the bear necessities

The application only makes use of one window, in which your shortcuts will be placed, as well as all the options needed to do so. A background can be chosen for the work-space to make it suit your desktop. Other than that, there are only the options to add and clear icons, and this is where it gets complicated.

Give it a bit of your time

When wanting to add a shortcut a small screen will appear asking for three requirements in order to place them in the virtual space. You must specify the route, a name to easy identify it, and an icon to be displayed. Unfortunately, none of these can be omitted, and it can get a little time-consuming in case you want to add a lot of shortcuts.
You can say goodbye to shortcuts from your desktop because upon deciding to use this application they will have no use anymore. In other words, it is imperative that you add the shortcuts through the menu, not being able to simply drag and drop the items in question.
Furthermore, once you finally go through the process, all icons will be shown in an unmodifiable size, which might prove to be a little discomforting. The same applies for the name of the shortcuts.

To end with

Virtual Shortcuts tries to offer a helping hand if you decide to make your desktop a cleaner place. It can, indeed, let you forget about icons on your desktop, and it even allows you to store pictures and videos however, arranging everything can be a pretty time-consuming process.
