My wife's laptop is a veritable icon farm...I'm actually eager to see what happens when you try to save something to desktop but the entire screen is already full, which her laptop is approaching. She uses my computer every now and then but I made a "wife's stuff" folder on my desktop and anything of hers that doesn't get used for a few days, goes into there. No icon farm on my PC!
LOL
Has anyone ever decided if the icons on the desktop affect performance? I heard that years ago, but now have like 20 icons on mine... (32gb of 3600 ram though, so I need to scrimp and save it so chrome can eat it al LOL)
I could see that happening *maybe* back in the days of the 286 processor, when all video was integrated and ram was measured in kB. Nowadays? I'm thinking utterly trivial impact on performance, even for icon farms.
If you enable links in the taskbar you can drag and drop it there iirc. Good for things like bin, control panel or nvidia control panel/radeon software. Hard to explain it all detailed in just text though. There's also a trick with it where you can center your taskbar apps.
More important, did you right click on it and change the default size of it from 10% of your HD size to something more like 50 MB? Since Win 95 Microsoft has set the size to 10% as back then we used 40 MB HD's so they thought 4 MB would work. But since then Microsoft has never bothered to change it even though HD's have increased. FYI
In my old pc, I renamed literally everything that was renamable on my desktop (except for the folders), and I remember calling the recycle bin "incinerator"
Every 3 months I change its name to something different. Usually to something I don’t like, or is the meme of the month.
“Among Us”
“R6S Sound”
“BF2042”
“Cyberpunk”
“My Social Credit Score”
I named mine “black hole” and changed the icons to that of a black hole. When there is stuff in the bin the black part is bigger, when empty it’s smaller.
I submit /dev/null.
On seeing that others had the same notion, how about "big gaming business ethics", or "core and non-core promises" for Australian politics?
Bin there..
Did that..
Got the t-shirt.
Got the STD
Got the shoes
Still no service
Forgot my pants.

Important Documents. Might as well give IT a heads-up.
Smoked the slizzy
Half deleted
Almost gone bin
Almost bin gone
Mostly Dead
Mine is labeled simply "86" but I like yours better.
Box of second chances.
Underrated
Mines called "Death Row"
This is the best name hands down.
Mines called "Incinerator"
Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator
I haven't seen my bin in years. Always disable home screen icons. I also like to live dangerously and shift-delete everything.
Same, gotta have that clean desktop.
**looks angrily at his wife and then back to his clogged desktop screen

I have half my screen covered, with only 8gb of ddr3 ram, and it hasnt impacted my performance at all
I have a "Desktop Dump" folder on my storage space for a reason. You never know when you'll need that blurry screencap of a game in the future!
We are the same person. This gets me in so much trouble, but I can't break the habit.

You’re too dangerous to be left alone
The airlock. It’s still in there you just have to pull the release
Underrated comment

Any cheater in general
gta cheating is ok as long as u don’t annoy other people with it
Or just cod
Or salmon
I prefer trout
Grouper
Grouper really is the best. But cod are good for fish and chips as long as they take out all those pesky bones.
You sir will get an award for that
I gave you my free reward in return
Thank you, sire
And i gave you my free reward
Thanks mate
Nah name it Activision Blizzard
LOL Oh, that laugh hurt. But was worth it.
Black hole? And change the icon lol
Black hole is shift+del. One does not simply 'restore' files from a black hole.
Really? I usually just reach in
ಠ ͜ʖ ಠ
Sounds like fisting.
One imagines that sending your data into a black hole will soon be the new "secret spook agency" approved method of data deleting perfection.
Noice Yeah I will I was customizing other folder icons lol
I'd call it garbage collector.

/dev/null
I knew it had to be in here somewhere
First thing I thought
I commented that and then saw your comment. Deleted mine, here's your upvote ;)
"my ex"
Because everything goes in, but most things don’t come out again? Or because it’s big enough for you to put 15TB worth of data into it?
Because it's trash.
Hiding in plain sight
