DeskFolders

Group your desktop icons into folders, just like on your phone. Click a folder and the screen softly blurs as it springs open. Crystal and frosted glass styles, animated wallpaper see-through, auto-organize, and a clean uninstall that puts every file back.

A tidy desktop, the way your phone does it

DeskFolders turns a cluttered Windows desktop into a few neat folders. Drop files onto a folder, click it, and it springs open over a softly blurred screen. Click outside or press Esc to close.

Features

Phone-style folders: drag files and folders onto a folder tile to add them. Click an icon inside to open it.

Auto-organize: sort your whole desktop into Apps, Games, Documents, Images and more in one click. Undo it any time.

Two glass styles: Crystal (clear, with light bending at the edges) or Frosted (soft, milky glass).

Animated wallpaper see-through: with Wallpaper Engine or Lively Wallpaper running, your moving background shows through the folders.

Glass desktop icons: optionally show every desktop item as a matching glass icon.

Quick search: type inside a folder and press Enter to launch.

Recycle Bin tile: drop files on it, click to restore or empty.

Grid snapping, multi-select with Ctrl+click, and double-click the empty desktop to hide or show all folders.

Multi-monitor & high-DPI aware.

English and Korean.

Your files stay yours

Files you move into a folder are kept in a plain folder in your user profile (%USERPROFILE%\DeskFolders), one subfolder per desktop folder. Open it in Explorer and move things around; the desktop updates instantly.

Uninstalling from Steam (or Settings › Prepare to uninstall) puts every file back on your desktop and restores Windows' own settings.

Notes

Windows 10 (version 2004 or later) or Windows 11, 64-bit.

While animated wallpaper see-through is on, folder tiles don't appear in screenshots or recordings. You can turn this off in Settings.
