Abstract

File rack icons are provided to logically group object icons on the screen of a video display. The file rack icon consolidates the grouped icons so that they occupy less of the screen of the video display. The file rack icon is available in alternative forms. In addition, object icons may be dragged into or dragged out of a file rack icon so as to dynamically alter the icons grouped by the file rack icon.
