The office is a horrible place to store actual files,

Shortcuts to files is correct, but the office is that the corruption of first place will appear malware or viruses.

And the result can be loss of the files you want to find easily.

These are the only types of files you want on your desktop

    Failure of Options when you click the Dock icon to include 'Desktop in the display (number).

    I use an iMac 24 "mid-2007. The help documentation tells me how to assign an application to a space is to use this Option. But it does not, while the other three are. Is this an error or something that can be explained? Could there be a work around? My OS is El Capitan.

    Hi peterwhi,

    I understand you are trying to set an application to open its windows on a particular space. To do this, move to the space that you want to use for the desired application, and then choose 'The Office' in the list of options you mentioned see (under Options).

    OS X El Capitan: working in multiple spaces
    https://support.Apple.com/kb/PH21872

    The option that you describe as missing is displayed only if you have connected an additional external display to your iMac and would set the app to open on the iMac screen or the external display.

    Office on the screen [number]: the application opens in the current space on a specific screen (if more than one display is available).

    original title: malfunction of the sleep...

    When I bring my computer off "sleep mode", I don't see any icons on the desktop, that my background image. I can't get back them, and the only thing to do is to give my computer a re-starting difficult.  I just bought this computer last year and fear that this hard-restart is damage. What the hell is happening? What is the point of having the "sleep mode" if it limits my activity once I re - enable the computer?

    Kill process > explorer.exe from the Task Manager.

    Copy a copy of explorer.exe from a stable machine fresh and clean.

    Paste in: C:\WINDOWS\

    Replace existing explorer.exe.

    Problem should be solved.

    If this is not the case, change the registry should be applied.
