It’s gratifying to know that 84% of PC Gamer readers are sensible folk who would never allow their operating system desktop get into the sort of state you can see in the image above. And it’s more gratifying still to know that a third of you are in the zen club where you have have a completely clear, clutter free desktop with nothing <\/em>on it. This is the right choice. This is the way.<\/p>\n

Though I will admit I’m a lazy member of the zen club and don’t actually clear my desktop, I just click that button in the Windows context menu which hides all the icons from my desktop. I’m comfortable with the knowledge there’s a viper’s nest of writhing icons and folders under there, just so long as I don’t have to look at it.<\/p>\n

Yes, this past week we asked you lovely PC Gamer readers: How do you organise your operating system desktop? <\/strong>Because we’re obviously convinced that a clean desktop is a clean mind, but wanted to know about how everyone else organises their systems.<\/p>\n
