[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1024120"] I second Bahja's suggestion with one important caveat: once its downloaded, it really should not STAY on the desktop. That is generally asking for trouble. If the thing you've downloaded is an installer, run it and it will put the app in the Applications folder. You can then trash the installer. If you've downloaded pictures, put them in the pictures folder inside your Home folder. If you've downloaded PDFs, put them in the Documents folder (and you can have sub-folders within all these folders if you want). But its a good idea to keep the desktop as clean as possible for a variety of reasons. [/QUOTE]
