First of all, I wanted to talk about a rumor which was a wide spread says “a lot of desktop shortcuts may slow down your computer“; this one makes me smile as a specialist, because I know that the shortcut is nothing but a reference to the memory address ( Defintion: Addressing is a way to organize memory locations for storage represents the address in four hexadecimal characters (0-9 then A-F). ) in which it is stored.
A proof to that is when you delete a shortcut; you don’t get rid of the program you have to go to Add/Remove programs in Control Panel, so it searches for the related files to delete.
Another proof is that you can copy, then paste the (.exe) file from program files/ [Program name] to desktop and right click it to choose [change icon], make your own choice, and then it works fine.
The question is: What about desktop files? ; Desktop files if in a reasonable no. is no problem because we have now RAM (=Random Access memory) in order of MBs (128,256,512) in addition to , it loads the structure of folders and files , Files only work when it’s the process of opening, so you can overcome this by putting so many files into folders , otherwise It remains idle.
The previous paragraph means it’s true; computer or operating system (i.e Windows XP) loads with the desktop folder, but this is how to overcome this.
What about disk almost full and the process of defragmentation Definition: The process of clustering the free spaces of storage together , so you can find larger spaces for a file to reserve. ? I don’t think it’d affect the loading of the operating system ; because It doesn’t load with ChkDsk utility which checks the failure of disk partitions , but take care of the storage processes like surfing the internet ; it stores temporary information .
Those temporary information files are used to speed up your browsing the same site; and to avoid this unnecessary storage to affect the speed, by default the maximum timeout to keep these files is 20 days.
Finally, I wanted to mention the number of start up processes like( MSN messenger,Yahoo! , Skype , and any program which runs in the start up) , this sure uses the RAM , so try to minimize the number.
