No of icons on desktop

I regularly need to cleanup my desktop with number of icons almost filles it in a space of 2 weeks.Mostly work related files and tools and shortcuts. Do you keep your desktop clean or let it get filled with as many icons as it can ?

Computer, Recycle Bin. Occasionally temporary files/shortcuts (30 min duration). Recently added Sound (using 2 sound cards and swapping the default between headset/speakers quite often) and Task Scheduler (I seem to have problems actually waking up to my phone alarm, weirdly it seems someone presses the stop button instead of snooze so I start Winamp with some noisy guitars). Everything else - was quick launch, now taskbar and using the Star Menu. Turns out you don't actually need that many handy shortcuts, anything used often enough ends up in the "most used" list on start menu anyway. And yes, I used to have organized full desktop initially. Too much work.

I tend to use the desktop as a temporary folder. I run programs I use most from the taskbar. I mostly tidy my desktop when I change machines, dumping my old desktop into a folder called Old Desktop and putting it on my desktop.

All my icons are on the left half of my desktop. They get restructured as necessary. Part of the right half of my desktop has a picture of my favorite God.

I tend to keep things of current interest on the Desktop. I also tend to forget to remove them, so it gets as cluttered as my real desktop, which is currently buried in crap. When I run out of space on my PC desktop, I'm usually due for an upgrade and that eliminates most of the clutter. But I'm still stuck with this incredibly messy desk...

330 million and you were able to choose just one as your favourite? I've still not worked out which one was my favourite Spice Girl.

:-) Well, at least for my generation (I am 47 years old), there's sometimes the concept of a "Home God", which is the primary deity worshiped at home, so that becomes the favorite God.

Common sense is not a gift it's a curse. Those of us who have it have to deal with those that don't.... Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow. You can't scare me, I have children.

I prefer none. The few that are there (because the system won't allow me to remove them) I have hidden. I shudder whenever I see a Windows system that looks like a Macintosh. X|

7 rows with 14 icons per row - each row is organized by function (system, office tools, development tools, image processing, video processing, network tools, misc) I use IconLock [^] to keep the desktop from getting scrambled
