That's a good idea. I hate clutter on my desktop as well. I choose to get rid of icons completely (Right click desktop | Arrange Icons By | Show Desktop icons), and use the Quick Launch bar instead. I have shortcuts to all of my frequently used programs in my quick launch toolbar. I have it setup so well that I rarely even use the start menu anymore. To make room for all of my shortcuts, I made my taskbar twice as high (two rows of icons in my quick launch bar).
A couple more useful shortcuts I use often are:
Winkey + D - Minimizes everything open, hit it again, restores everything back to the way it was.
Winkey + Pause|Break - Opens system properties
