Not that I'm aware of; not one that's functional, that is.

Remember: one can only keep a desk clean until the drawers fill
up. :-)

My filing system for desk drawers has always been to just keep adding
papers, etc. to them in no particular order... eventually they become
full and somewhat useless, since nothing else can be placed in them.
Never understood how some former co-workers could keep their desk
drawers neatly organized (gack!) with files, etc.  While they would
just reach for a file folder when asked for something, I would find
things by pulling large stacks of papers out of the drawers, plunk
them onto the desk and root through the papers to find what I was
looking for... took a little longer to find things at times, if I
didn't recall how deep they were in a stack, or what drawer they were
in, but it certainly was much faster and easier to "file" things away
in that manner. :-)
