    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 ?

    Zen and the art of software maintenance : rm -rf * Math is like love : a simple idea but it can get complicated.

    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...

          I just see it as yet another folder to put stuff in. I don't think it has any impact on productivity for me. Maybe it has for some.

              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.

                  I use fences by stardock.

                    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|

                      Usually keep clean, but the thing is, I hardly ever see my destop. I have Outlook or VS (or CP) filling both monitors all the time.

                        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
