        I've got three. One of them is a folder. I just dump everything that's on my desktop into it at the end of everyday.

        The other two are OSX HDD icons.

        Spend you some brain.

          mine is near a screen full. I use my desktop just like any other directory and I empty it out every so often. Its mostly for current work scraps and such.

                                        Just a few from when I rooted my Android phone, usually keep it clear but I wanted quick access at that time. Time to remove them.

                                              I run about 160 in the taskbar and around 120 on the desktop.. cause I am the MAN

                                              true I doubt there are very few anywhere on the web who have more shortcuts.

                                              Classic layout of course.

                                                Only 2 (actually 1 + the hard drive)

                                                I cannot stand a cluttered desktop

                                                  oops looks like there are a couple other icon freaks here

                                                  I go four rows in the taskbar. Dont really want to start a fifth row or I would go more.

                                                  Cant really have too many shortcuts. Loads fine.

                                                    I have about 10. The Mac HD icon, and the flickr upload icon for drag and drop. The other 8 are things I'm currently working on.

                                                    I don't like to have a cluttered desktop or a lot of icons on it. There's usually only 4 or so icons on it at any given time.

                                                                          Why?

                                                                          I dont know about any of you but I never just stare at my desktop ... shit its only visible when i restart shut down or grab something handy from it while working. to me... thats what its for now. Its to place goods that you currently work on or just havent gotten rid of. mostly as a scrap table.

                                                                          What other rightful purpose does it serve... I know everyone doesnt work like me and do different things.. so im asking..


                                                                          Do you use your desktop for any reason that it shouldnt be used as a scrap surface?

                                                                          Deej's Designs n' What Not

My major was Interactive Multimedia and when I was in college and in the labs, we were told not to have alot of "clutter" on the desktop. I guess the discipline just stuck, college for me was 9999-2001. ...And it's just nice, at least for me, when I know exactly where everything is. Music folder, models I am editing, video, apps, etc.

                                                                                                Why?

                                                                                                I dont know about any of you but I never just stare at my desktop ... shit its only visible when i restart shut down or grab something handy from it while working. to me... thats what its for now. Its to place goods that you currently work on or just havent gotten rid of. mostly as a scrap table.

                                                                                                What other rightful purpose does it serve... I know everyone doesnt work like me and do different things.. so im asking..


                                                                                                Do you use your desktop for any reason that it shouldnt be used as a scrap surface?
                                                                                                Well, for me it's not so much of choosing a minimal desktop as it is never using icons from there. I mean, I generally have a lot of windows open, and it's much more efficient to open programs from the menu than it is to minimize to the desktop all of the time.

                                                                                                For example, here's mine... and if I cared enough to edit the settings, I'd remove mounted drives from there as well but considering I never actually use the desktop for anything, there's no need.
