Quick Start means all the items on the desktop will be automatically and intelligently sorted out into different boxes according to iTop Easy Desktop preset rules.

Customize means all the items on the desktop will be automatically arranged and aligned to grid. Then you can create boxes and put the desktop items into different boxes according to your needs.

No matter which method you choose to start iTop Easy Desktop, you will get the main interface as below. In addition to the User Profile icon at the bottom for viewing your account information, the navigation bar is divided into five sections: Boxes, Wallpapers, Personalization, Widgets, and AI Assistant, which are the main features of iTop Easy Desktop. Let's get familiar with them one by one.

Boxes

In the Boxes panel, there are six tabs: Box, Appearance, Organization, Quick Actions, Layout, and Snapshot.

Enable Boxes

Under the Box tab, you can decide whether to assign your desktop icons into those boxes or not by toggling on/off the switch for "Enable Boxes".

Note: For free accounts, only 3 boxes are available.

By clicking each box, you can edit each box separately, including renaming it and changing its background color.

Create a Box

There are four ways to create a box.

1. Click the icon to create a new box directly in the Boxes panel. Additionally, you can create a Folder Portal or Private Box in this way.

2. Left-click your mouse and hold to draw a rectangle on the desktop. Then you will have the option Create a Box next to this rectangle.

3. Right-click the mouse on any blank area of your desktop, then choose iTop Easy Desktop in the context menu and select Create a Box.

4. Select the items you want to put into a box, right-click the mouse, and select Create a Box for these icons.

Under Appearance, you can customize boxes' appearence, such as choosing whether to show titles, coloring the box, and changing the fonts of the boxes' titles.

Under Organization, you can create your own rules for each box, deciding how to group your desktop items.

Under Quick Actions, there are some quick actions to help you get a neat desktop, access boxes, and choose to open items by single click or double click, etc.

Under Layout, you can decide the boxes' layout when changes are made, such as when the resolution is changed.

Under Snapshot, you can back up your current desktop and restore your previous desktop.

Tab Mode

For a tidier desktop, drag boxes to merge them as tabs, or split them apart anytime you want.

Private Box

Private Box needs to be mentioned especially because it offers password protection for your important files and folders. Once locked, the password is required for any access. Private Box is only available for Pro accounts.

To create a Private Box, you can go to the Boxes tab > click the icon > select Create a Private Box, or right-click the blank space on your desktop > select iTop Easy Desktop > select Enable Private Box. During setup, you'll be prompted to set a password and provide an email address for password recovery. Then just move the files or folders you want to protect into the box.

Note:

· Only one private box can be created per account. Once created, the option Create a Private Box won't be displayed.

· On some devices, you may be asked to reboot your computer to enable Private Box.

· Please remember the password and associated email address you set for Private Box.
