Sure if you make no changes then it's no issue but many corporate environments do redirect them and also enable roaming profiles, in which case there are (potentially bad) consequences... @ Tom Zurinskas....no not really..... Just don't do it or if you do, use this only temporarily and move them at then end of your session! Use shortcuts! @ Alan Monroe:

So it makes a huge difference in terms of system resources. The files in the Desktop folder load into active memory, while the files in My Documents do not.

It's so easy to right click a blank spot on the desktop, select an application, give the file a name and open it as a new file. But you say it's not that secure. Suppose I move them to a folder on the desktop. Any more secure? Thanks Diana,
