>>>>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.

>>>Of course. Just create a folder on your desktop, and place the shortcuts within it. You can also have folders within folders.

Maybe I am misunderstanding your suggestion. But, in my backup routine I copy all files from the desktop folder. This way, if I ever need to recreate a shortcut, they are all on my backup media. Why would I need to move the shortcuts to My Document folder?
