46 at the moment but like others mentioned above I tend to create folders to house less often used ones. I have folders within folders of them. I am guessing near 150 in all but I am not counting.
22 on desktop, though I could blow away 5-6 easily and not miss them. 8 on quick launch task bar. I HATE programs that automatically put themselves in the system tray
I have four, MyComp, MyNet, and Recyle. I keep my frequently used icons in the quick launch bar. I hate desktop icons!!!
1. Open regedit 2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace 3. Delete the following key: {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} To enable the RB again: Create the key. I take no responsebility
Somewhere between 1 (Recycle bin) and about half a screen. I tidy it often and put new things there often - depends on what I'm doing. It's like a temp folder really to me If I don't stick it right where I'll see it again it'll be long forgotten
