Spilled SFS files on desktop - Plantoid 1 - 16.02.2009

Hi all:

Well, I did a bonehead thing yesterday. I extracted fb_3do01.SFS onto my desktop. Before I realised I hadn't made a folder I started the extraction and couldn't stop it. I now have over 7,000 files on my desktop! Every time I start the computer or restart, the files show up all over both monitors.

Where can I find the holding area for these files so I can get rid of them right from the system and stop them cluttering the DT? At the rate I'm going I'll have to start/restart the computer about, oh, 200 times or so.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Great days all.

Roger that silly billy!

Thanks - all cleaned up now. Rather worse than spilling a cuppa tea across my desk but not as bad as cuppa across the keyboard!

Great days all.

Seen that happen, but it was a keyboard attached to a brand new laptop and beer instead of tea, needles to say it didn't like it.

... select all (ctrl+A ) move all desktop contains to new folder (cut ..paste) .... later on just move shortcuts back ( folder view = details ...sort by type )
