I use the Win2K quick launch bar, for the most part. My iMac only has one icon (or 2 if there's a cd or dvd in the drive).

39. But only 5 or so that I use most of the time. I have most programs on the Quicklaunch bar.

did you read your first sentence before you posted the amount you had on your desktop?

Zero. I usually have multiple windows open above the desktop, so everything's on quicklaunch.

No less than 4 (My computer, Network Places, Recycle Bin, My Docs) But I usually keep everything I'm working on currently on there... that is the point of the desktop. Right now I have 9, the other 5 are files for school projects I'm working on.
