Yeah, I might try those Registry mods that Two Rails posted. Bailey, I DO NOT have the OS on its own seperate partition (But I think I might do that next time). I do have the pics backed up on an external drive but I still choose to keep them one my main PC also. I guess I'll minimize the number of folders by organizing them into "year" folders. I've got pics from 2003 to current in there so I'll divide them up into folders by year which will drastically reduce the number of folders on the screen. The desktop icon refresh thing really bothers me though. Even my crappy old work Dell laptop doesn't do that and I've easily got three times as many icons and shortcuts on that desktop.
