[QUOTE="andymac2210, post: 1236264, member: 189082"] I don't want to be rude bobtomay, you provide great information on this forum in the many posts I've seen by you. But I think what you're experiencing is confirmation bias, you've seen people who don't know how to maintain systems and at the same time clutter their desktop with every shortcut, folder and icon they use, their computers may be slow, but not as a consequence of this. It's probably just incidental to their lack of care for their systems. I too do tech for a living and i've never seen the number of desktop icons affecting the speed of the computer, except in older machines where the graphics chips are so old the draw time on the icons slows down (normally just at the startup) the computer, abeit briefly. I have several sandbox systems, I run 3, 24" monitors and on these the desktops are a war zone of icons and folders, I notice no difference on these either. [/QUOTE]
