We can say Desktop of your computer is your own digital home or
workplace. Where you live, you work, you enjoy. As we always keep our
home & workplace neat and clean, we should keep our Desktop clean
& beautiful. Desktop is thing which you always see before starting
your work at your work places. If your Desktop is beautiful then there
is no doubt that you'll do well in your work with peaceful mind.
So, here I'm going to share my knowledge that I use to make my desktop beautiful.
1>
You should not keep your any of data files on desktop. Whatever data
you keep on the desktop is part of explorer.exe which is your system
process & it use your memory of RAM. Which is one of causes that it
makes your system start-up slow. Removing data will make your desktop
neat & clean.
2> There are many ways to organize your
desktop that it look cool & beautiful. Here I'm sharing two ways. I
made two levels according to knowledge of users.
-> Level-1 for people who are not very involved in computing.
-> Level-2 for Expert Users.
Level-1
-> Wallpaper is like flooring of your home or office. Download some cool wallpapers from my favorite websites. (
Vlad Studio,
wallpapers.org)
-> After wallpaper its time for thinking about Icons. ICONS on the Desktop like furniture on the flooring.

- In every wallpaper you'll find some blank space where you should keep your Icons.
- Now view this wallpaper where you'll find Fish & Icons coming on it, which is not looking good.
