Make it your own, people! I don't know how many times I've looked at someone's Desktop and seen the default options. If you don't need the text accompanying the icons in an Explorer toolbar, turn them off. Then, drag and drop the different toolbars to put them in a more convenient (and screen real estate saving) position. Select 'My Computer' and press F2 to rename it to something a LOT more personal. Access extended options by opening the Windows Explorer and selecting 'View' then ''Folder Options.' From there, you can toggle single-click object operations, single window folder exploration, turn off (!) the 'Web View' feature, etc.. The 'View' tab holds even MORE secrets; unhide all previously hidden files, toggle easy path viewing, turn on file extensions, etc.. Go! Go now!
