[SOLVED] desktop short cut question

I have a lot of photos that i would like to use as a desktop picture but the best ones have detail i dont want to cover up with short cuts.
Is it possible to put short cuts on the right hand side of the screen.

BTW when i get a photo to use on desktop i load the photo into paint program and put a solid oblong when the short cuts will be.
This stops the short cuts from being hard to read as they usually blend into the detail of the photos.
