The safest place to save your files is somewhere nobody will ever look

Re: Desktop. Just desktop.

One of my student did the same with PDF files. His desktop was completely covered.

I asked him to clean that mess.

A couple of days later, I see him smiling at me. I go to his desktop and he shows me proudly the piles of PDF he made, thematically sorted.

First, I thought the guy was stupid (I was expecting folders and subfolders).

Then it occurred to me he had another way of thinking but it was perfectly fine.

Lesson learned.
