PC Desktop Cleaner: Quick Start Guide

Cleaning your Desktop

When you open PC Desktop cleaner, it scans your desktop and shows a list of existing files and folders.

Using the defined rules, the program suggests an action to be taken for each item. The actions can be:
- Leave on Desktop
- Delete
- Move to Recycle Bin
- Archive
- Move to Folder (the destination folder shows then in the “destination” column).

Advice: decide wich items do you want to keep on your desktop. Using the steps described next, select "Leave on Desktop" for all of them and select "Archive" for the rest. Next time you clean PDC will remember that you like those items on desktop and the process will be very easy.

Changing selected actions

To change the selected action for an item, right click on it and a popup menu will appear. Then click on the desired action.

When you select the action "Move to", you need to tell PDC where do you want to move it. You can select a destination folder or choose one of the folder that PDC offers wich contains:

• User Documents (My Documents folder)
• Any folder where you have moved items before (that way you just have to select the folder once)
• Any folder used as a destination by a rule.

Changing actions for multiple items

Hold the CTRL (Control) Key and click over the desired items. Then right click over any of them and the popup menu will appear. Then click on the desired action.

Cleaning

Once you have selected the desired action for all the items. Press the Clean button, a confirmation screen will appear; you must check it and press OK. Once the process ends your desktop will be clean and only the items you selected will remain on desktop.

Search

After you have cleaned your desktop with PDC, you can always find easily cleaned files and folders.
