Throughout the school year it can be easy for your desktop to get cluttered. While dropping files on your home screen is convenient for quick placement of downloads, it does not ensure the safety of those files. In the instance that there is a problem with your system, your scattered files are not backed up and are susceptible to being destroyed.
Additionally, it reduces the performance of your device, which is essential during your college experience at Northern Arizona University. All of the previews on your desktop will temporarily be placed in your computer’s RAM storage, which contributes to the minimization of it’s speed.
