A script to monitor a Desktop' (virtual folder) area (eg. say 30% of desktop from top to bottom) to stay clean of newly created icons, moving them automatically to fill preferably other locations (preserving default icon grid distance), or to off screen locations of the desktop when the client area reserved to display icons (70%) is full of newly created icons ;).
It would be great a ShellView with Scrolbars :P to reach the usually hidden part of the Dektop (at least when big icons format (48x48px mode is selected).
Possibly with menu Options in a Tray-icon to open the Desktop "standard" folder in an Explorer window to display the total amount of icons (in-view and off-view).

Last request is that the script should work with my old, but Glorious Operating System Win2K powered with extended Kernel...obviously ;)

Thanks in advance all You Cool Coders for your kindly attention, consideration and patience... ;)

My native language is italian so please forgive my awkward scribbling style ;)
