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.
