>>>Is it possible to place a bunch of desktop shortcuts into a group? I have a million of shortcuts on my desktop and want to hide some (until I need to use them). For example, I have a shortcut for TurboTax 2000, TurboTax 2001, and so on. I would like to place them all in one "group" shortcut, if I ever need to access them.

Yes, that is the way it works.

By the way, if you want to include your shortcuts in some backup, it is better to store a folder with shortcuts somewhere else (in My Documents, or wherever you chose to place documents that are worthy of being included in a backup). Then, create a shortcut to this folder on your desktop.
