Setting a file folder to function like a desktop W8.1
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
Windows 8.1
I always end up making my desktop the file folder for my projects and their assets. I do this because it saves time since the desktop is always the bottom of all open applications and easy to access and I can actually move things around as I please unlike in a folder in windows. That said when a project is done its laying around the desktop and time is wasted finding and reorganizing things.
I was wondering if I could somehow create a folder and make it function like my desktop while im working on my project. then when I'm done working on it I just close the folder and there's no mess to cleanup...and it goes back to my original desktop
In the simplest of forms I guess I'm looking for a screen that overlays just the desktop. The functionality of a grid type system (what the desktop functions as) so I can move things around, or at least have them appear in a grid like system, would be good too.

What kind of projects? If coding, your IDE will always show you all files in the project.

Do you work on multiple projects (very messy desktop)? If a single project, when it is finished., move all from desktop to a backup folder & start your new project. You could even switch projects by moving the entire contents of directories around..
