Do you have a lot of destop icons on your desktop.?

Hi saivenkaat802003! I think i only have 2 1/2 rows of icons. My husband usually checks on my laptop and delete anything that it is not of use to me. Although I really don't know what I do need. haha.. Anyway he tells me that he is deleting some unnecessary shortcuts or icons because it will just tend to slow down the start-up. I just trust his judgment on the matter as I only just use my laptop for internet unlike him who used his desktop for his work. Take Care and God Bless! Happy Mylotting!

I have quite a few icons on my desktop. In total i have about 3 and a half up and down rows of icons on my desktop.

Not that many. I try to keep the number of icons manageable and to those I use often only. It is not good to have too many icons on your desktop. One, it defeats the purpose of easy access. Two, it slows down the booting up of your computer.

I don't think I have too many - about a row and a half maybe..

Yes, I have many desktop icons in my computer. I like computer and I think I am good at it. So you can imagine I like to try many different software and therefore I have more softwares than others. When others see my desktop they will be very surprised to it. But that's not a big deal for me:)

I manage my desktop very judiciously. I do not generally put more than 25 icons of default size which occupy 30% of my desktop area.I segregate files as per the theme and move them from 'my documents folder to bigger hard drive partition regularly, so that the virtual memory does not go too low.

wow. six rows??? that's a lot saiven. i don't have that much icons in my desktop. i only have two rows, probably not more than 25 icons. only icons of important programs like yahoo messenger, chikka messenger, mozilla firefox, and other programs i constantly use. also, i have icons for folders that i open every now and then like My Pictures. and then, i have icons which i did not place in my desktop. the one who installed my internet broadband connection placed it there. it contains basic information about my internet connection. i don't like having a lot of icons in my desktop because i wouldn't be able to appreciate my desktop background. and i don't like seeing too many things in my desktop because it would seem so messy.

Not quite only two rows I don't like things that are not in order as much as possible I want my things are in arrange. Like my children said I'm the walking organizer because I want all the in organize so that I can find things in order.

Having a lot of desktop icons and stuff on the desktop, slows down the starting process i mean the booting process. I have a PC and a MacBook, the desktops of both of which are almost empty, MacBook has only one icon on desktop. I also make sure that the documents folder is also empty because that also adds to boot time. bourne

i have only 5 rows becouse today morning i clean my desktop icon and file. when i download file using firefox it download all on desktop i fix the path all youtube video i download here and all think yesterday my desktop was full of icon. put all your shortcut in on folder and make it auto hide frame i mean bar.

hello saivenkaat, i often use free software in my computer, but i always to delete their shortcut, i also minimize the sum of shortcut in my desktop. this can make my computer booting and startup my computer fast and keep my desktop clean..

Not to many, but it becomes more and more gradually. I used to manager them after I see it's more.

Hi saivenkaat802003, my desktop is very 'dirty' due to my job makes me produce many documents and folders everyday (I simply treat it as my workbench!) To make the icons manageable, I divide the desktop into several virtual sectors. The left hand side is for placing shortcuts (Arrange by name). The middle area are folders of installation (my job involve software testing, thus produces many folders of installation). The right hand side is for placing document files (Word, Excel...). Doing so can help me locate the file I need easier. However, there is a drawback - If you change the screen resolution, you will find the icons' in a mess.

When i have lots of things to do, for the office work, my desktop are full of documents, but i will manage it at the end of the working day, let them back to their home. i have different folder and group to classify and keep useful documents. It is just a habit, isn't it?

I have 3 rows..
