I've had a hard time recently keeping my desktop clean and I thought that the best way to keep it clean, along with not having to choose limited amount of icons to show on 'Quick Launch', is to install one of those softwares I've seen others use which holds icons quite similar to that of a Mac. At first I stumbled upon ObjectDock but my friends said that RocketDock was better and looked more neat. So I visited http://rocketdock.com/ and downloaded the installer.
I removed all my icons and added all the icons I needed on RocketDock. I changed all the icons to ones that have higher resolution and looked better. So I downloaded a LOT of icons with the help of the two links below.
I also chose a wallpaper which both looks good and means something of value.
I spend about a half of my day using my laptop and it is quite useful to have a background that would remind me that the everyday decisions I make would affect my status in the after life.
RocketDock also lets the icons "bubble" when you let the mouse hover over them just like in a Mac.
I noticed that I've been sharing a lot of stuff recently. Maybe it's because of all the free time I have from my summer vacation.
600+ Free Design, Twitter and Social Media Icons: A Collection Motherload!
40+ Stylish and Trendy Icon Sets
Some of the icons were in PNG format only so if you couldn't use it without having the ICO format you could download 'AveIconifier2' which converts ICO to PNG and vice versa just by dragging. You could convert multiple files at the same time too. Its just so easy.
After installing RocketDock, I added the items that I needed which were:

GOSH! I LOVE CUSTOMIZING!
This has been another PC user's attempt to get as close as he could to a Mac.
