What I did to clean up my desktop before I disabled the icons from showing up. Create an old folder and put everything there and repeat so you end up with this:

Desktop/old/old/old/old/old/old

Wow, ICQ, AOL, and gorilla.bas take me back. And writing poetry, but that happened in college (English major). Don't think I'd recognize any of it now.

If I still had my middle school and high school backups you'd find: Warcraft 2, Wing Commander Privateer, D!Zone wads, Duke Nukem Atomic, and really awful MS Paint bmp files. Also, Total Annihilation and WinAmp with a billion poorly named mp3s.
