ABSTRACT:
A system and method for efficiently managing desktop content is presented. A plurality of content groups are defined on a computer system. Upon activating the content management system on the computer, representative views are displayed on an associated display device. Each representative view corresponds to a defined content group, and also corresponds to a key on an input device. The system obtains a management action to be completed on the displayed content and further obtains a keypress corresponding to one of the representative views (and its corresponding content group.) The system identifies the content group corresponding to the keypress and carries out the management action on the display content of that content group.
