And where did you read that Venney??
As long as the files are all organized in folders I don't see any problems.
Some Applications want to install in their own folder,these will be the ones that give you problems if any!
Even then, as long as EVERYTHING for that APP is in that folder...everything should be fine!

I think some people just like minimalist desktops and when you dont keep yours the same way then they can't see why. The desktop is a great place.. because it's infront of your eyes ! I use it alot too .... but some people freak if they have more than 3 icons on there... like they are a social disgrace or something..... I spose they have a shiny real desk too n can never find a pen when they want one cos they can't remems which drawer they put it in hehehehe

File where you want. The "Desktop" is nothing more than another "Limb" on the Folder Tree. It does have a few more options than Filing in other areas of the Directory but you should be fine.
Surprised you didn't know this already. Miss a day?
