The Desktop Cleanup Wizard is a component included with Microsoft's Windows XP operating system.

It aims to reduce the clutter in a user's desktop environment by moving unused shortcuts to a separate directory called "Unused Desktop Shortcuts".

The Desktop Cleanup Wizard works as a scheduled task that runs once a day.

The Desktop Cleanup Wizard scheduled task can be enabled or disabled in the "Desktop Items" configuration screen, which is available through the Desktop tab on the Display Properties dialog box.

As of Windows 7, its function has been integrated into the System Maintenance Wizard in the Troubleshooting Control Panel.
