Using desktop to file things

I wonder if there is a feature or app or anything that will allow me to organize my desktop folders into categories. Right now, I do this semi manually, I have a corner where I put all my documents that are waiting on info from a client; another area of my desktop where I put all the folders of projects that I am currently working on; and so on. I'd love to be able to label these areas and keep the folders from moving out of their areas. Is anything like this available anywhere?

I'm not sure of a specific app but you could group the folder shortcuts in your start menu as an alternative.
Although I'd imagine there has got to be some kind of app that can do exactly that

Badrobot, I use my desktop to store documents and folders because it is a method that has proved very helpful in maintaining organization. I also keep a cork board next to my desk with information that I want to see rather than search for. I use the library features to store information, but I do not always want to store the information. Think of it like a stack-able letter tray on a physical desktop, or a desktop file holder right next to the full filing cabinet.

Why are you using the desktop and not the library folders (for files and documents)?
You can add new library/folders and sub-folders (ex. "Pending Files" or "In-Progress Files, etc.) to the Library. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/8...dows-10-a.html

I do something similar, just make a folder on the desktop, name it accordingly and each and every file for that project/subject goes to and comes from that folder until the project is done and then it gets moved to my storage drive. Sometimes I might have 15 spread sheets going and multiple instances of Excel open.

"Fences" are pretty versatile and they can be hidden with a double click on the desktop.

Fences look very promising. Thanks.
