@davidbisset My Downloads directory has files dating back to 2008…

Riverwang,

@Riverwang with all of my windows I forced myself never to see the desktop and therefore not an option. But before that oh yeah, I’m with you.

@davidbisset A colleague was telling me earlier how someone they worked with, whenever their desktop became too cluttered, would create a folder on the desktop and drag all the old stuff in to it. Including the old old-desktop folder.

@benjohn yeah... i throw things onto my external which every year I wipe that folder. IF you don't miss something after a year and you didn't throw it in a particular folder anyways...

beemoh,

@davidbisset But, you will notice: no cookies.

@beemoh I would hope not. Cookies belong in a browser which is some other vending machine, or maybe in the back of this one! 🤣

@davidbisset Every time I move into a new computer I think “This time I'll keep my Downloads directory empty!” … and every time I'm wrong. 🤣

@davidbisset this is what my father 's desktop looks like! It gives me the creeps each time I catch a glimpse of it 😰

@duncan_blues @davidbisset haha 🤣 yes! I forgot that scene. Very good movie by the way.

@imarfisi @duncan_blues it made the movie more relatable to me.

@davidbisset I'm gonna piggyback on this meme to give you the best pro-tip I've ever used: RAM drive.

Are you using all your RAM? Probably not, we have a lot these days. I've allocated 12 GB of my RAM to act as a mounted drive. All my downloads and temp files go to F:/. It's so fast (because its RAM), and when you reboot, all your temp stuff is gone.

Join the RAM drive club! :natalie:
