[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1712057, member: 83420"] For anybody who likes the idea of keeping things "handy" On the Desktop, there is a way of achieving this without the risk of data loss. Go into Finder > Documents and create a Folder called "Desktop Stuff". Now drag that Folder into the Dock to the right of the vertical marker (ie in the same section as downloads, applications etc). This will create an alias. Every time you feel that get the urge to save something on the Desktop, just drag and drop it on the "Desktop Stuff" Folder in the Dock. Keep as much as you want in there. One click and you have access to all your data. And if you delete the Folder by accident, no problem. It was only an alias. Original data still in Documents. And Time Machine will back this up too.
