Windows always defaulted top left and down from there, so it's what I am used to.

I trust the poll results will be used to further the cause of humanity and curb world hunger

That's none of your business, for op-sec reasons, of course.

Icons for Programs and Files are on the lefts side. I only keep a few shortcuts though. In the middle at the top I keep rotating items I am currently working on and want easy access to. When I'm done with them I move them to my Work Files.

Why no vote for "None"
I purposefully removed every icon from my desktop, even the trash can. I do not like icons on my desktop.
I even have my toolbar on the bottom "floating" so I see nothing but my desktop photo unless I drag my cursor over it to access links I have placed there and use frequently.

Poll fail.  No option for no icons. I have some gadgets but no icons.

I'm boring.  Down the left side of my Windows boxes.  Down the right side on OS X.



In other words "factory default".

Although most of my icons are down the left side (and that's the choice I picked in the poll).  I do have two of my most used icons at the top middle.
