Meh, I prefer the cluttered desktop. Who needs a my docs when you got a desktop? I use the quicklaunch bar (or run menu win+r) to launch all of my apps and use my desktop to house all my projects/documents. I don't need a start menu or a mydocs folder.

Yep - looks adequate to me so far...

Icons are for sissies.

I wouldn't last five minutes. Mind you, I have Iconoid installed on everything, set to "Always Hide", so desktop icons don't show up until I click on the desktop. The real biggie is that I have directories of shortcuts down the lower left-hand side of the desktop. Clicking on them and holding for half a second opens them up like the Start menu (thanks to KO Approach) -- but they're so much tidier and better organised than the start menu, because they only contain the shortcuts I want (no "uninstall" or "visit the website" clutter, and they're organised exactly as I want them)

I'm surprised nobody's suggested adding the "desktop toolbar" to your taskbar. That's what I do so I can easily get to desktop icons without minimizing all my windows :)

[Battlehammer]

The desktop is for viewing pictures and spacing out, isn't it?

[ecooke]

My Vista does that for me. Randomly makes them dissapear and making me select them all to bring them back at least once a day. Very clean. I like my corporate logo where I can barely see them in the first place....haha.

[JasonPSage]

Me too - I use that when I'm in the thick of it and minimize all seems frightening as I might "lose my flow"
