The New Desktop.

This is where I keep new, short-term files that only take a minute to work on/with.
This is where IM usually sits.
All my on-hard-drive storage is here...old files I might not really need, or that don't have a place inside project folders
The PSD for this allows for easy swapping out of project graphics. These are cards from the ol' Hipster PDA.
This photo is easy to change in the PSD, but mostly, it's photos of my cat.

The New Desktop. by averyvery.
Desktop at work, where we HAVE NO MACS.

My biggest problem as a web manager is dealing with the large number of files, either used for immediate posting on the site or integration into ongoing projects, and this desktop gives me places to put and sort things as soon as I receive them.
Often, due to Windows insanity, I can't delete a folder full of photos with thumbnails without restarting, so I leave them over in the "Delete" area (pile of matches!). With our slow network, old computers, and instability, this is the most helpful thing I've been able to do to keep myself organized without depending on too many programs (any of which might compound the RAM problems I already have processing 100mb Photoshop files).

This is actually based on a desk I have at home, and I put in my walet, a number of cables I regularly use, favorite headphones, cellphone, and some files from my drawer.

It took forever to shoot well enough, because my cat kept strealing the matches.

Oddly comforting, I must say. You should have gotten a pic with her paw sneaking in ; ]
