In Windows at least, stuff on the desktop gets loaded into memory... also it doesn't get backed so obviously (a pain given that it's sitting right there in front of you) so my desktop is empty, except for maybe temporary shortcuts. OTOH, I find the QuickLaunch thingie, and Recent Documents folder fantastic. I use a slew of different programs and I'm hardly more than a couple of click away from them.
