You can move your desktop (Desktop folder in Windows) to another
location.
Go to Registry Editor.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Explorer\User Shell Folders.
There change value of Desktop from %USERPROFILE%\Desktop to D:\Desktop
or whatever you like.
Moving it to a partition other than system partition helps keep your
precious data inert to vulnerabilities of system partition like
Windows failure, system breakdown.
Enjoy!
* For those who do not know how to Go to Registry Editor*:
Start >> Run >> type regedit and hit OK.
Keyboard shortcut for Run is "WindowsLogoKey + R".
