How many icons do you have on your desktop?


So I brought my laptop into work today. My co-worker was shocked that I only had 3 icons on my desktop (trash, downloads and miscellaneous). I asked him how many he had and he claimed to have around 25. I find that insane and a lack of organization.

reply

I don't have any on the desktop itself, just four on the shelf at the bottom.

reply

I have 5 on the shelf that were the default. All of them necessary.

I use a Mac Mini, and my desktop is pretty much clean. All the programs I use are in the launcher.

Yeah, I know, the Apple is overpriced and all that, but I like my Mac for everyday tasks. The price on the mini wasn't too bad.

reply

I used to have a Mac back in the day (G3) and the launcher was great. I stopped using Mac because a lot of things weren't compatible with it.

According to Albert Einstein “if a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what then is an empty desk a sign?”

Einstein is wrong on this one. There can be a lot of books and papers on his desk, but they can still be organized neatly.

I have only two. Brave Browser is a memory whore.

reply

I only use Brave on my phone. It's a weird browser because sometimes when I minimize it, it closes after a certain amount of time away. Sometimes it even closes as soon as I minimize.

reply

I got it on my phone (Samsung) as well. Works fine.

Might be a phone setting thing. Check to see if your cell auto closes the Brave app or if another utilities like app closes open apps, after a sum period of time.


Word of the Day: App

It's done it for every phone I have. The browser is a mystery to me.

100 icons and folders with former desks icons. Most are articles which I haven't read, links to articles I haven't read and information. My universe is very chaotic these days.

UPDATE:
I just added about 6 or 7 more.

Perhaps I need a 12-step program.

reply

Damn that's crazy. I wouldn't be able to handle that.

reply

I just added a few more. I just installed two more browsers, Chrome and Opera, so I have their icons on my desktop now.
I created a folder and dumped a few dozen icons in there.

I used to have icons covering almost the entire screen at work and home.

I'll go thru everything eventually.

Two - recycle bin and one shortcut icon. Brave, Word, and Excel are on my toolbar.

It feels so much better on the eyes and the mind to start up my computer and see so few icons.
