In the commercial area, hDC Windows Express is nice. It organizes the
desktop like a filing cabinet in a hierarchical way. You can have the
same program appear in multiple folders, if it makes sense with no
penalty.

It will take a .grp file from program manager and incorporate it into
its own scheme.  It also allows you interactive inclusion of parameters
and will show you a menu of any target drive you specify.

Program manager with all groups iconized uses up about 14% of the
resources Express only uses about 3 and the size of folder has no effect
on the resources used.

Check it out!
