Anyone else save all their files to their desktop for easy access as email attachments and organize them into the right folders only periodically?

I save everything to my desktop, but not for your reasoning. I'm just a slobbery mess and am lazy. When my desktop is full, I move it all into a folder called "old desktop" and start over

@D1 why would saving stuff to your desktop make your computer slow?

Nope, unless I am working on something short term. Say the week and clean off on Friday, it makes your computer slow and it's easy to loose stuff

That makes zero sense

Your computer has to use resources to keep those files quickly available and ready to use. It bogs down the processor, more noticeable in older models or computers like Mac that have quick view.

@D1 the desktop is just another directory as far as file storage is concerned. I suppose technically some inconsequentially small amount of resources have to be used to show the icons on screen, but there's definitely no caching or anything going on to help you open anything on your desktop quicker

Quick view is a Mac function so yes there is, I agree it's a hold over from older versions of OS but I need all the inconsequential RAM I can get
