Abstract

Desktop icons allow users to access files/programs quickly. Some users are struggling to adapt their window management strategy to secure the visibility of desktop icons. In this paper, we propose an approach to provide users with an efficient way to make desktop icons visible in order to reduce the workload of window management. The approach was developed based on careful considerations to the context in which we aim to help users. The experimental results showed that out approach made the process of making desktop icons visible faster. However, it was not confirmed that the workload of window management was reduced.
