Does anybody know if leaving a folder on the desktop uses system memory.

The operating system treats each desktop icon just like a full-size Finder window—the icon takes up a chunk of memory, and the system has to track its position and size at all times. Drop enough files and folders on your desktop, and you may start to notice side effects (such as spinning beach balls) when you’re trying to do something as simple as open a new Finder window.
Stop Dashboard is a widget that doesn't prevent it from working. Rather than simply closing any widget, click on the widget Stop Dashboard to save your RAM.Les Exposé said:I know one thing for sure that dashboard widget thing gobbles to much memory if you have alot of them.
