I use my desktop as sort of a post it board. Programs I'm using frequently, files I'm working on, music I want to have at a single click's reach...

I wait until I have the whole thing filled up, and then I move all the stuff to a folder for that date, nest it in another folder with the other archives, and start all over again.

Wow! That sounds.... .... terribly inefficient!

It works for me, but then again I have a near eidetic memory (when I actually bother to pay attention and engage it...). Remembering that I worked on file x in mid October of 2006 is no problem, so when the customer comes back to have another ad created or the same document re-designed for another publication, I'm right there and working on it instead of wondering where it got corralled or having to engage the search function.

Well, if it works for you then by all means. You could potentially see why we are confused as there are more efficient ways to keep organized. I, too, never have to reach for the search function because I know where everything is. I've organized it that way (via fences on the desktop and an organized archive for my photos, documents, and projects). But seriously, whatever floats your boat dude ;)

I used to do this. I mean, my desktop still gets filled up sometimes. But now instead of throwing everything in shitty nested folders, I delete most of them and puit the important stuff in the appropriate foldewr.

You crazy people and your desktop icons.

made a new wallpaper and got rid of all my icons, still tweaking

plugin compatibillity and there are just some tasks better left to paint. at least, that is the reason why I still use paint.

whats in secret nasa information

Why do you have a desktop that says "Novell Linux" and "Free Software" when you are using Windows XP?

ooh got a new computer so i figured i'd have a bit cleaner desktop. the background is animated so that's like pretty cool.. eh yeah >_>

I like it, I like it.
