Whenever I find a website I want to revisit, I highlight the address bar and drag it to a folder on my desktop. It creates a .webloc file I can double-click to revisit the site. Does anyone else do this? Also how many people use Stacks on their desktop? It's very amazing and helpful for...

I have a desire (need?) for a utility app for my Mac. I’d like an ability to click on an icon (or perhaps a menu bar icon) and have my desktop be different for the various tasks I do. I’m writing a book? I click on ‘author’ and up comes Pages (or Word) and Safari for research. I’m playing...
