The files, as I thought I made clear, are only temporarily on the Desktop. In fact those three temporary file folders are the only ones actually on the desktop, plus links to my documents partition and a folder for transferring files to and from my laptop. I keep my desktop very clean. If I am working on a project I put links there for the software I am using frequently, when the project is done I remove them. However, you may have a point, while I have not had a corrupted desktop in a long time (years) that used to happen quite often, It might be better to have the files where they will not be lost if that happens.
I use bicubic sharper to resize the webimages, that seems to do a good job of sharpening them about the correct amount. -graywolf Markus Maurer wrote: > Hi Graywolf > putting real documents or images on the desktop is a bad habit IMHO.
