Wake Up People
So this post s definitely going to be a rant. Why do so many seem to think that the Desktop is a place to store files? The desktop is not meant for that. Sure you can use it TEMPORARILY for things but it isnt meant to be the place that you keep stuff permanently. The desktop is meant for shortcut icons and pretty pictures. Speaking of pretty pictures, the "picture" on the desktop is called a Wallpaper not the Screensaver. Come on people it is amazing how many of you out there get these terms mixed up. Wallpaper = Pretty picture on desktop. Screensaver = That thing that turns on when your computer sits idle for 15 min that can display pivoting 3d text, multiple pictures or a multitude of other things. Wake Up People and learn these two facts and it will make your resident IT professional at your job a lot happier.

I've given up on trying to correct people. As long as their misconceptions ( <--benefit of the doubt here) don't break anything, I can live with them being an ID:10T. It may be a little worse in your location since most of your users should be more highly educated.
Keep up the good fight!
ouch, sorry, & ouch!
