Desk & Archive v1.0 beta 2

Desk & Archive is a great help for you if you are a business user. It solves the problem of "messed" Windows desktop.
Many people keep different sort of things on their desktop without any arrangement, which leads to lower productivity. Here you have Desk as a way to create and track your unfinished documents, Launch bar for shortcuts to programs, pinned folders to Sidebar instead of shortcut to folders, and templates and bookmarks as tools for frequently used documents.
Many other features increase productivity. Feedback is much improved. Simple copy & paste offers several new features - when file is copied icon gets proper indication, when copy is completed you get notification with ability to select copied items (even if they are not visible) and undo the operation.
Other features include: tabs to clean clutter from your taskbar, automatic opening and closing of tabs which takes these tasks away from you and increases availability of locations you might need, preview of items on item tile with active preview of folders which allows opening of its items directly from preview, smart sorting which chooses best sort type based on content, ad-hoc items lists which allow easy opening of several folders at once and looking through those folders to see all items in all subfolders, unobtrusive and problem solving notifications, easy multiple selection with checkboxes, improved interaction with both keyboard and mouse, and many more hidden gems.
Test version is available for free at www.deskandarchive.com.
