    Well you're sort of OCD with a lot of things. All your reports about bugs on KHV are always graphics related, and no one ever notices them.
    That's not totally a bad thing, mind you. It just doesn't surprise me that your desktop is super neat.

    I have the exact same thing. Except that I disabled icons so it is just there as a dump for my screenshots at this point.

    Oh, I'm not OCD. If I wanted to, I could make the My Computer, My Network, etc. appear on the desktop, but I can access those from the start menu, so there's really no need.

    One of the reasons that I had my last wallpaper so long (other than my love of consistency) is that I was amused by the fact that it had the quote "Someday I'll come and bring you back" on it. But it was obscured by icons so then when I shut down my computer the icons would disappear and it was like my computer already missed me (albeit aggressively). It is like Electric Angel if Miku decided she was going to kick my ass.

    I'm shutting up now, the more I try to explain that the weirder it sounds to even me.

    I have never had anything on my desktop.
    I hate it.
    Pin it to the start menu if you want easy access.

    my peeps with neat desktops: you rock
    the others: you have a chance to move up to the awesome category, just clean your desktop please

    Also Fork someone doesn't have to have OCD to have a neat desktop. D: I just work a lot better when things are clean and organized and everything.

    You have to have SOME kind of obsessive problem.
    Or well, being a super neat freak I guess. I've seen your room Misty, it's scary clean as if you're hiding something from us.

    The huge folder on my desktop is called "Desktop." I periodically make another folder inside that folder also called "Desktop" because my desktop files get too cluttered in there. And then another in there. And another in there. And another in that one. I'm surprised it hasn't looped around to link back to the main desktop again.

    Holy shit, mine is named the same thing.

    You wouldn't happen to have a folder called "Foodstuffs" in there, would you?
