Why on earth do Windows Users refresh their Desktop?
Have you noticed Windows people refreshing their desktop for no reason?
Are they stupid? Are they crazy? Is that their compulsive disorder?

I do not refresh my desktop.

This is a club? Refreshing the desktop is not that big a deal.

Re: Why on earth do Windows Users refresh their Desktop?
Some people over here follow this algorithm.
be_a_moron()
{
while (no_useful_idea)
{refresh_desktop_constantly;}
return;
}

Re: Why on earth do Windows Users refresh their Desktop?
I would say they do not constantly refresh their desktop. Sometimes the icons might disappear on their generic OS, hence the need for refresh...

Re: Why on earth do Windows Users refresh their Desktop?
I do not know what happens in the US.
In India, people refresh their desktop for no reason at all. They think it defragments the memory or otherwise boosts performance.

Re: Why on earth do Windows Users refresh their Desktop?
They are incorrect.
I have fiddled with many OS and I have never found any way that boosts performance.

Tell them to defragment their hard drives instead.

Re: Why on earth do Windows Users refresh their Desktop?
You do not need to know the constant, it has never been determined.
(human intelligence)(machine intelligence) = m

Re: Why on earth do Windows Users refresh their Desktop?
Yes, we are restricting the discussion to humans. You do see a (human intelligence) term in the relation.
But do not get caught up in the mathematical kaboobly doo and miss the entire point. As one term goes up the other must go down, do you see that? Since machine intelligence has been increasing the result about human intelligence follows.
