    I never have icons on my desktop; occasionally it has files I dump there before ftping for convenience, but they go pretty quickly

    Game shortcuts are on a hidden dock up top, and the sidebar has download limit/weather/uptime/uploads+downloads/cpu/ram/hdd usage/gmail/notes

    I use windows classic theme and rely very heavily on auto-hide taskbars. I have one on each side of the screen with small icons and no text. The right side is for all gaming shortcuts, the top is for folders and various Office-suite style progams, and the left is miscellaneous programs and utilities. I also run a couple Samurize widgets to display current weather and detailed system info on my desktop. The desktop itself is mainly used as a temporary workspace. New files, documents, and shortcuts always get placed directly on it and then sorted into the proper locations on a regular basis. The only things that have permanent residence on the desktop are direct links to the various storage drives on my house file server.
