people who do this are also insane. My previous boss had her screen entirely filled with icons to the point that you couldn't actually find what you needed. Literally pointless.

I agree, I don't like having to use a scroll bar on my file explorer, so if it gets to that point, I move things into different folders

taxes Jan 13, 2026 7:34 PM general

oh nvm

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:34 PM general

it's all automated stuff from old installers for me

taxes Jan 13, 2026 7:34 PM general

its not that much

taxes Jan 13, 2026 7:34 PM general

its uh

taxes Jan 13, 2026 7:34 PM general

like

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 13, 2026 7:34 PM general

It's a working directory folder, that's a top-level location

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:34 PM general

50% of it is from

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:34 PM general

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:34 PM general

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:34 PM general

I INSTALLED RETROARCH????

Kribbles Jan 13, 2026 7:34 PM general

My Downloads folder is the largest folder usually, it's just a bunch of temporary files there

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 13, 2026 7:34 PM general

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:35 PM general

i mean i rememberd what it's from but it was funny

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:35 PM general

it was a steam game spooky or somebody got me but it was like 70 gb or something

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:35 PM general

so i never played it

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 13, 2026 7:35 PM general

If anyone has a hot tip to speed up Windows directories btw

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 13, 2026 7:35 PM general

I'd gladly take it

Rusp Jan 13, 2026 7:35 PM general

i have default windows everything

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 13, 2026 7:35 PM general

I continue to not understand how Windows is generationally bad at file tables

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:35 PM general

honsetly mostly what i do now that i think about it, is i just search files that i know exist somewhere in everything

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 13, 2026 7:36 PM general

everything is still the best search for sure

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 13, 2026 7:36 PM general

but I can't get over how after a directory has >100 things in it it just can't handle

taxes Jan 13, 2026 7:36 PM general

appearntly no tmuch actually goes to my desktiop

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:36 PM general

the worst thing about windows file explorer is how it insists on trying to compute metadata for every "audio file"

Kribbles Jan 13, 2026 7:36 PM general

Fork

taxes Jan 13, 2026 7:36 PM general

you opena folder with

taxes Jan 13, 2026 7:36 PM general

80 audio files

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:36 PM general

so if you ever open anything with mp3 or ogg it just freezes

taxes Jan 13, 2026 7:36 PM general

and it lags your entire pc

taxes Jan 13, 2026 7:36 PM general

yea

taxes Jan 13, 2026 7:36 PM general

that happens a lot

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:37 PM general

there's probably some registry thing but i'm too lazy

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:37 PM general

it should just be simple to disable......

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 13, 2026 7:37 PM general

Clearly

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 13, 2026 7:37 PM general

we're supposed to jsut use OneDrive

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 13, 2026 7:37 PM general

that's the solution

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:37 PM general

i actually do use onedrive, onyl for school things so that i can easily do things on my laptop and main pc

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:37 PM general

since it's just treated as a folder

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 13, 2026 7:38 PM general

but no, my desktop is plain black and has a million things on it

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:38 PM general

i also have my powershell profile in onedrive i think so i have the same setup there for both my computers

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 13, 2026 7:38 PM general

same with every computer I use, home, work, and school

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:39 PM general

i inherited the blank desktop thing from my dad, who is slightly more autistic with it

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:39 PM general

he uses a SLIGHTLY different shade for every computer he has

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 13, 2026 7:39 PM general

I should boot up wallpaper engine from ~10 years ago

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 13, 2026 7:39 PM general

and see what HS Spooky thought was cool

Kribbles Jan 13, 2026 7:39 PM general

I usually use default everything lol

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:40 PM general

phijkchugames actually has a private use secret annoying desktop theme

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:40 PM general

Phijkchu_Pikachu Jan 13, 2026 7:42 PM general

>center taskbar

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:42 PM general

you know looking at that now i realize for the first time that they probably designed that background around the centered taskbar

Phijkchu_Pikachu Jan 13, 2026 7:42 PM general

🤮

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 13, 2026 7:43 PM general

ik Mac people swear by a centre taskbar

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 13, 2026 7:43 PM general

but I just wont

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 13, 2026 7:43 PM general

I'll do side or top if forced, before that

legorhin Jan 13, 2026 7:43 PM general

if only windows 11 had those

Kribbles Jan 13, 2026 7:43 PM general

I got comfortable with top taskbar, but

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 13, 2026 7:44 PM general

I just can't not disassociate the left side of my screen with that

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 13, 2026 7:44 PM general

centre will always feel off

reorruatrnte Jan 13, 2026 7:44 PM general

yeah
