I’ve seen the same thing as Michael. However, at least in the Mac OS, my
experience is that it’s a bad idea for two reasons:
1. It’s very easy to inadvertently rename, move, misplace, or delete a file. I
only keep a few, generally temporary files on my desktop, files I intend to
throw away when

Maybe they did invent the desktop. But that doesn't answer my question. I
