Useful Desktop

Do you miss “My Documents” and “My Computer” on your desktop?

Now with our Useful Desktop you can upgrade your Windows XP system with the features you need but Microsoft forgot.

Simply download and install Useful Desktop and the “My Documents” and “My Computer” icons will be back on your desktop like you remember from previous Windows versions. The time and annoyance you'll save by using this easy to use and well tested product is well worth the tiny price!

What are “My Computer” and “My Documents” and what does Useful Desktop do?

The “My Computer” and “My Documents” links are standard features on Windows systems that can help you find and organize your programs and files. When clicked, “My Computer” gives you quick access to all the programs, files, and folders installed on your computer. “My Documents” is where you can browse for the files and projects you have previously saved.


In the Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows 2000 versions you could easily get to these locations with desktop icons but for some reason Microsoft did not continue this convenience on Windows XP. If you want these icons back where you remember on your new system you could spend time and aggravation trying to fix it yourself, or you could let Software Candy’s user friendly Useful Desktop do the work for you. Once installed on your Windows XP computer this safe and reliable download will put “My Documents” and “My Computer” back on the desktop where you can find then quick.

As with all Software Candy products, Useful Desktop is completely free of any viruses or spyware (digitally signed for authenticity and integrity) and is well tested for its advertised features. If ever needed, you can also uninstall it completely with a single click, performing a total cleanup after itself.
