Re: How cluttered is your desktop?

Kin'hell. I usually just move the shortcuts onto the taskbar which I usually add a bit more height to to accommodate the shortcut bars- and if something installs and adds shortcuts to the desktop, I delete them if it's something I don't use.

As for files, they are downloaded separately by my download managers which helpfully chuck it all into one directory, which then I have to tidy and see what the heck is in there every so often.

Pain in the neck.

Nice arial shot of the north of Zante - perhaps the photographer had a cluttered lens?
