It is not so wise to delete the desktop file, which contains ALL your
comments in the finder, most of the icons, and the folder placement of
all your files. And besides that fact, as soon as you delete it the
file will be reconstructed...
I advise you to _not_ delete hidden files unless you are positively
sure of their function. Deleting any file can be hazardous to your well
being (and that of your system!). If you need to delete a hidden file
for any reason, just use ResEdit, any disk editor, or even a DA like
DeskZap or DiskTop.
