  • Folder rack icons
    Patent number: 5678014
    Abstract: File rack icons are provided to logically group object icons on the screen of a video display.

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.
