    Or where people didn’t click a lot.

    Could go either way - I could see MS doing this because people use this a lot.

    Only time I’ve ever used it was the first time I installed a version with it (7?).

    Win-D is far faster, or a simple Alt-Tab, which I’ve used for what, 30 years now?

      I have files download / export to desktop pretty often since I use it as a visual workspace (I can drag things around freely), and I got used to hitting that button. Since it’s in the corner, it was easy to throw the mouse down there, similar to the X in the top right

      I could get used to the keyboard shortcut though, especially because that one is reversible

        I always liked the idea of the desktop, it’s just never been useful for me (and I’ve tried, since Norton Desktop in 1992).

        Mine just becomes a cluttered, illegible mess. Probably because I find icons messy and confusing. Lists make sense to me, icons and graphics just seem like wasted space.

        I suppose if I could have folder views on my desktop that could work.
