    Yes, it's called the Start menu!

    It just baffles me why so many people insist on saving shortcuts and files on the desktop. It's just not practical to access them if you have any applications open!

    You can make toolbars from them in most versions of windows. Organise them into folders on your desktop first. Then right-click on the taskbar, go to Toolbars->New Toolbar and select one of your folders. Repeat for all your folders. They'll then appear on your taskbar, I keep them shrunk down to the right and click on them to get a vertical list of the links. Not the most elegant solution but it is quick and simple and doesn't require anything else
