Good morning!

I have read that having a lot of files on one's desktop can slow down Windows XP, since all of the files will be loaded into RAM.

1.  Is this true?
2.  Does it apply to all of the desktops (at system startup, I suppose), or only to the desktop of the user who is logged in?
3.  Does it apply only to files directly on the desktop, or also to those inside folders on the desktop?

Thanks.
David.
