put it this way, i have dual 21" lcd's @ 1600x1200 and BOTH screens get full. Everytime i get over packed(wall to wall icons) i just put them into a new folder on my desktop (currently 4 folders in all) currently i am at 180 i guess i am the 'bag lady' of icons =/
anon i feel you have the same problem. I have to keep folders for my short cuts on my desktop and i have one full folder with old desktops jesus i never have time to check them I think its over 300
when im full of work .. expect my desktop to be a forest of icons ... but please dont ask me to count how many there are ... my icons are at 16pixels and my screen resolution is just 1280x1024
0. I remove all desktop icons as fast as I can. And my background is just black. I spent much time finding out how to remove the recyle bin from the background (had to delete a registry key).
most probably i put only two icon on my desktop mycomputer and rycyclebin.i dont like to put more and more icon on my desktop
About half the screen at this point. Which is why I *never* use or look at the desktop, except for when I run Putty once in a blue moon for telnet or SSH, for some reason I never added it to the start menu... I absolutely despite software that automatically drops a desktop icon, it's impossible to find anything after the first dozen or so.
My laptop like 12, my desktop, omg to many to count... B/w web dev stuff and vid editing it's a little whore.
Cannot count them ................. too many ................... this thread gave me a prompt ................. clean up my desktop
somewhere in 5X . Will clean up laterz as i dont like much icons on desktop i like to have it clean .
