The general rule of thumb is to keep on the desktop the icons for whatever you
use often. I have not measured the improvement in performance gained from
moving icons off the desktop, but each and every one of them takes a little time
and a little memory. The thing to absolutely avoid is the download default of
putting all downloads on the desktop. What a load of garbage! ... Ben Myers

My Inspiron 2200 Windows XP Home is somewhat slow booting up. (Takes about.
90 seconds; not a big deal). I've tried to limit my startup stuff (but a lot
of the items that startup are foreign to me and even a google search doesn't
always convey whether or not I should allow it to start up). I like
WinPatrol as that allows me to add some startup items after say a 2-minute
delay.
But I digress, so let me get to my question:
My desktop is cluttered (about 40 items). I don't mind; it's fine for my
use. However, my daughter said that with her MAC she was advised to have a
desktop folder (call it desktop) and to put all her folders in that.
So, if I create a desktop folder and put all my current disktop folders in
that, will it speed up my boot (if yes, will it be significant)? My guess is
it would not be significant.
What do you folks think?
