Clean up your Desktop – Presentation Preparation

If it were up to me I’d only ever have a shortcut to my hard drive and another to my server, but its not always the most efficient to have files or projects your working on, buried deep in some folder. Which brings me to my next point, my desktop can get really messy from time to time. With my presentation this Friday I don’t think a scrambled desktop gives the most professional impression.

Its not a big secret that web developers and designers are constantly evolving, and are always being influenced by what they see.
