Abstract
The present invention provides a system and method for organizing objects managed within a desktop. A user may choose to create organizer objects to track and organize any type of object, or even to track and organize particular objects. The method of the present invention allows a user to create an organizer object within any container object on the desktop. An organizer object is a permanent and persistent object which tracks and organizes objects within the container as the objects are selected by the user. When an object of the tracked type is selected by the user, the desktop event handling mechanism notifies the appropriate organizer object. At any time, the user may choose to see the objects as they are organized by an organizer object. Desired objects are found with a minimal amount of effort by the user, and the user may customize the viewing and management of the list of tracked objects, or may choose to use system defaults for the viewing and management of the list of tracked objects.
