Clean Up Your Desktop

Seriously, stop cluttering your desktop with icons. Shortcuts and documents are easily organized into folders, imagine that. Shortcuts are just as effective on the start menu. The computers I use have no more than four icons on the desktop. At home: Recycle Bin. At work: My Documents, My Computer, Recycle Bin, shttpd.exe. There’s just no need to have 20 documents, 15 shortcuts, 22 favorites, and 10 PDF’s. ORGANIZE YOUR CRAP.
