    I do the same thing, but mostly because I develop Doom mods for fun and it’s just an easy place to dump sprites and audio files. I can drag a file directly from my desktop to the modding program I use, and then just clean up once I’m finished working on what I’m working on. Otherwise my desktop just has a few shortcuts.

      I don’t get how this is easier than just having an explorer window open to a folder with the files where the exposed desktop would be.

      But hey, you do you. I’m not about to say that you can’t use your PC like this. I’m not your manager, and you can do what you want.

      Whether I “get” it or not is irrelevant.
