Why the computer preformance decreases when documents are stored on the desktop?

you have a "document" that explains - only shortcuts to programs should go to the desktop?

* original title - only program shortcuts should go on the Office *.

I really think that most of it comes from the icon cache and the time of Windows 95, nothing more.  The desktop icons are consuming a small amount of RAM, the question is did it really matter that much on the machines of today, and it really mattered on Windows 95 machines with enough RAM, like 32 MB or more.

You can see ancient literature of technical Toolkit for more information on the bottlenecks of memory bottlenecks and suggestions to solve them.  Since the Server 2000 Resource Kit:

Solve a memory bottleneck

Although adding memory is an easy solution for a memory bottleneck, it shouldn't be the first option, that you agree. Try the following, more profitable alternatives before you spend money on additional memory. If you decide eventually to add memory, note that the maximum amount of memory recommended for a computer running Windows 2000 Server is 4 GB.

  • Monitor your applications and replace or correct those that a memory leak or use it inefficiently.

  • Modify your application in order to improve locality of reference. The Working Set Tuner, included in the Platform SDK, recommends an optimal organization of the code functions. For more information, see the MSDN link on the Web Resources page at http://windows.microsoft.com/windows2000/reskit/webresources .

  • Increase the size of the pagefile. Generally, the more you can do, the better. You can also have multiple paging files, but you should have several files of pagination by physical drive when the drive is not partitioned into logical drives. Volume aggregated by bands can be used. This helps to improve the rate of reading / writing to the pagefile because the work is distributed on multiple disks.

  • Check the available space on your disks. If you use a large swap file space is not available, this can produce symptoms of a memory bottleneck.

  • To conserve memory, avoid using certain display and sound effects. Who can drain memory offers animated cursors, desktop icons, wallpaper large bitmap and some screen saver programs; deleting or disabling can offer certain benefits in a limited-memory system.  Reduce the color depth and screen resolution display can also save memory, but to a lesser extent.

  • To free memory, disable services that you don't use. Stop services that you do not regularly saves memory and improves the performance of the system. However, make sure you that understand the ramifications to stop a service before do you.

  • Remove the drivers and unnecessary protocols. Similarly slow protocols use space in the pools of memory paginated and not paginated. Drivers also use memory. You can see how a driver uses the memory with the parser in Pool (Poolmon.exe).

  • Replace the 16-bit systems with 32-bit systems for better reliability and performance.

  • If you have other computers that are underutilized, move applications in memory of these computers.

http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc938584.aspx

Icons on the desktop MAKE use memory, but seriously, how much difference is really only at this time?  In my opinion the last word goes to the NT4 Resource Kit:

"If all else fails, add memory. After struggling with a neck memory bottlenecks and exhausting effects, you will find the best answer of the whole system is well worth the investment. »

  • Where the documents are stored?

    I scanned a document using my Canon application and selected the option to save as a PDF on my mobile device.  I can not for the life of me find where it is stored - is not in iBooks or any other PDF reader that I have on my iPad.  Any ideas, please?

    Documents are stored in the application in which they are created or saved.

  • When indexes are stored in the Oracle?

    For Oracle, this means a block of data (and an index is simply a particular piece of data) must be read (disk) storage and placed in memory (buffer) before it can be used for anything.

    When you say "data cannot be used (acted on, analyzed, etc.) until it is in the memory."  Then, please correct me if I'm wrong, the first operating system or get the expected data from disk to memory, then these data are used in memory.

    Is there any document relating to this information.

    Thank you for your remarkable knowledge.

    Do you want to confirm? You know, it would be far too costly to try to read the disc things and process. That's why Oracle would bring the contents of the disc in its structure of memory (buffer cache) before he would let you access and process them.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check

    Usually, the Office Assistant filter does not remove the icons, they are moved to a folder and you can put them on the desktop if you want. The folder that is automatically created the first time, the wizard removes icons is

    I place all the icons of the convenient positions, not on the grid. But whenever I do any upgrade of Microsoft or others, all icons move to the left side of the screen, sometimes on the grid and sometimes not, sometimes restart and sometimes not. I'm really tired of having to move all icons when this happens. I even tried locking icons on the desktop, but that does not work either.

    Make sure that the reorganization is not selected when you right-click on the desktop. That said, you can still see this problem if you do not have to line up on the grid.

    Sounds like a hardware problem, could be one of the following:

    (1) if it is a new PC, you must call/contact manufacturing because it should covered by a service contract.

    (2) if it is a PC that you upgraded to Windows 7, then you should download device drivers for Windows 7 on your PC manufacturer's support web site. Also equally important to the driver for your graphics card.

    ATI: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx

    NVIDIA: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index5.aspx?lang=en-us

    (3) if its an overheating problem, remove side trim and blow out the dust bunnies using a can of compressed air. This includes the heatsink and fan, power (evacuate nozzle with compressed air from the inside outwards) and dust from the motherboard and the case. Ensure that the card fan also. Note: Take the PC outside when you do!
