Resetting the PRAM is the same command-option-p-r on startup, but that is 
rarely needed.

There's no such thing as 'rebuilding the desktop' in OS X, that was strictly a 
classic Mac OS thing. The Finder does get messed up if you have too many files 
on the desktop, but it's on the order of thousands of items.

(believe it or not, I once had a professor manage to hit this limit, and on a 
15" Macbook pro. I have NO idea how he ever found anything, some icons were 
stacked 10 and 15 deep. The fix was simple, move all those files into  one 
folder on the desktop.)

Are you having some issues that lead you to believe this will fix them?
