Amit Banerjee : The shortcut method looks good, but I am not a big fan of Desktop icons. After some tie I feel really irritated on seeing a lot of desktop icons staring at me. My desktop is usually clean, without a wallpaper.
Debajyoti Das : @Amit : Ya, I have seen :) I too think desktop icons are useless since all the programs are accessible from start menu... and in vista, seven its really easy since they have that search option.
Hari : I agree too. Its better to have your desktop blank.
Debajyoti Das : Ya... after Amit suggested I removed all Icons .... Its great to have a clean desktop
punit vara : i think we should save some time by cleaning desktop icons because at the time of staring all icons refreshes.
