>I have many duplicate icons on the desktop and would like to clean up. It would be helpful if similar names icons would be next to each other; this way I could see which ones are duplicate. But when I right-mouse click on the desktop and select Sort by Name they are not really sorted by name. What am I missing? TIA
You can create folders on the desktop and drop shortcuts in there.
There is also a terrific free utility called Fences I've been using for years that lets you create areas of the desktop to hold groups of short cuts.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
