My Desktop is Spotless!

Ever wonder why your computer takes a very long time to load your profile when you log in? One of the biggest reasons is because there are items on your desktop. An item, what ever it may be, has to be registered every time the computer loads your profile. The more items, the more things that must be registered. What most people don't realize is that you want your desktop to be empty. Nothing needs to be there. Not even those useful shortcuts to applications, those can be placed in more convenient places anyway. It is easy to solve this clutter problem, you just have to take the time to clean it up. Set aside some time for yourself on the weekend, and use that time to go through your files on your desktop. Move documents to the necessary folder they should be in (some where in your "Documents" folder would be best). Delete any installers, zip files, old documents, and any shortcuts as you don't use them anymore. Make sure once you are done, to empty your trash bin so the files don't sit around some where else. From then on make a habit of not putting anything on your desktop. If you wish, leave a comment showing how spotless your desktop is!
