For years, Jocelyn Warfield saved her document files to the desktop. She asked me about continuing the process.
As far back as I can remember, no version of Windows has ever, by default, saved data files (documents, spreadsheets, photos, and so on) to the desktop. And at least since XP, it has not been a particularly safe place to save them.
And, for once, some of what it can do looks genuinely useful.
The blog post reads, “We’re introducing a new WhatsApp app for Windows that loads faster and is built with an interface similar to the app's mobile version.”
Since the middle of February, customers of AMD graphics cards have been reporting situations in which Windows installations were entirely bricked after installing new drivers.
I never noticed but hell my desktop is full of files as I always use to hide files on my desktop. Surely gonna clean it up today.
my Desktop only Has Recycle Bin ..... :)
Don't really see negatives personally to me. I have a "documents" folder on my desktop and other folders for work and school. Saves me the hassle of clicking through 3 or 4 folders just to get to the file.
And ever since 7 (at least, don't remember XP much) there is a button in the bottom right to instantly bring up the desktop, just as fast as clicking a folder icon.
Once files get dated and I'm not using them that often, I put them in their proper library folder.
Only recycle bin and 10 or 12 shortcuts exist on mine. I just leverage the heck out of recent documents, works for me.
There's absolutely nothing on my desktop. I can't stand cluttering it with icons.
