Desktop Icons
For those who have their own computer screen, how many icons do you have on it? I currently have 104.

For a long time I had 0 (because vista moved the recycle) and that's what I'd like to get back to, but I currently have 73.
I'll get around to deleting them eventually because they're just different word documents of notes on things I need to check on/look into/do when I get online, but lately I've been adding more instead of deleting them because my online time is currently limited and valuable.

7 folders on a mac, however the number of random psd or png files varies depending on when I decide on cleaning up and organizing.

There's 11 on my computer - 3 are shortcuts recently placed on the desktop, which will soon be removed. So really, normally 8. I don't like cluttered desktops.

Eight on my desktop screen, a few more on my laptop. I'm a bit of a neat freak when it comes to free-floating files.
Um...39.
I wouldn't normally have so many, but I used them all to make a big 'R'.

Ya'll do know that having 104, 73 or even just 39 items on your desktop can slow down your computer, right? Every time you get onto your computer it has to load everything. That being said, I have like 2, but that's only because Windows doesn't let me remove the Recycle Bin. Boo XP.

I don't have any icons on my desktop! And I probably never will put any on it. I like having a macbook pro. And I like being able to see the whole screen.
OoOh...wait then since I have a macbook pro, which means I only have 4 icons on my actual desktop! hehe I'm smartAyralee wrote:I don't have any icons on my desktop! And I probably never will put any on it. I like having a macbook pro. And I like being able to see the whole screen.

Till the end of the line.
I have like 20. They're all shortcuts to programs. Whenever I'm working on a project, my desktop tends to become quite cluttered because I save everything there for quick access (and laziness). I always clean it all up before long, though. I can't stand unorganized mess.
