We call that a task bar, here. ;-)

I only have stuff I'm working on. It bugs me to no end that I'll download 
something and it'll get put in some obscure "downloads" directory. No, I'd 
like to work on it. I have icons on my desktop just like I have papers and 
pens and coffee mugs on my desktop.

I don't put *programs* on my desktop, like so many others do.

If you want really quick access, that's what the "quick start" bar is for. 
And honestly I only ever use that at work where it's the same 4 programs I'm 
using to do my job over and over.
