system icons ^ downloads = one column, left side

Utilities used often (FTP, spyware, overclocking) mid lower left

Trillian = mid upper left

Folders (Music, nuke, misc) = top middle

Media programs = center right

Games = Upper right

Start menu on other monitor :)

The only thing I have on my desktop is my recycle bin, but only because I don't want to get rid of it. :)

No, it's cause it's an infinite loop... Delete the recycle bin and it goes in the recycle bin, which is still on your desktop.

:D

You can get rid of the Recycle Bin using Microsoft's PowerToys TweakUI. Its a free program available for download from Microsoft here: PowerToys <-- That link is only for XP. You should be able to find TweakUI for older MS OS's through Google.

You can also try Xteq's X-Setup which is similar to TweakUI but offers more features and has a plug-in capability so others can write their own tweaks that you can download. You can get X-Setup here: X-Setup

Hope this helps! :)

BTW- My desktop is a huge mess right now. I usually try to keep it empty or almost empty ... but I've been lazy lately!

Not very. I use the desktop for temporary storage but I don't show the icons at all. First screenshot from my laptop...

Mine has four icons. My Windows is very plain, by and large. I kind of want to get a nice theme, or one of those programs that makes the start menu look really tight, or something, but I dunno what to use.

Check it out. I just changed it today. That's a picture I took near the coast on New Years. The fog was awesome.
