[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1712011, member: 175845"] If I'm not mistaken, in Mac OS X usage the user's "Desktop" has always been a folder and in the old OS days, we were given the Desktop DB and Desktop DF files, usually normally invisible that kept the desktop more or less together, and did have some limitations now that you mention it, and also needed to be rebuilt occasionally. The other thing I've never noticed is any users Mac being slowed down that's often stated by having too many items left on the Desktop, unless the user get's their Mac into such an extreme Desktop clutter as this: [url]http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/why-you-shouldnt-store-files-on-the-desktop--cms-21721[/url] Then I think Apple also modified the user's optional desktop use with the introduction and employing OS X's Mission Control and Spaces features, neither one I really actually used. But AFAIK, the users desktop is still controlled by their user Desktop folder even with recent OS X versions, and no limits other than any other normal folders. Edit: Then again, there is this to consider… [ATTACH=FULL]24310[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
