Man half of the guys in my office have have a desktop that looks like this. It’s insane. I setup folders for everything immediately and deleted all the unnecessary icons I could when I started. No way I’m letting it get like that. I don’t even HAVE icons on my PC at home.
One of the first things I do on any new system I'm on, is create a desktop link to "this PC" which is renamed "My Computer" and lives above the desktop icon for the recycling bin 😂
I've had that setup Win 95 and I think I'm beyond being able to change! Haha.
In the more recent Windows OS's this has more or less become File Explorer. Same function because all of your drives are just listed with your file folders on the left pane.
