A while back I wrote an article on organizing your Desktop that was loosely based on the GTD principles. You can read it here.
I recently ran across a five-part series called "Five Steps to a Kinkless Desktop." It follows the same vein as my Desktop organizing tip, but goes quite a bit further. As such, it is more complicated to set up, but the instructions are fairly easy to follow and each step contains a nice explanation video. If you churn through a large number of files and find your desktop to be completely out of control, then it is worth taking the time to implement this plan.
