After I've built out a computer, I always find myself 6 months down the line trying to remember what exactly I put in it. Sure, device manager can help out to some extent, but many times you can't get the exact model # from there. Here is an attempt to keep a list of what my various computers are composed of:

I don't do a lot of snail mail these days, but when I have to get something out, I'm always wondering where the nearest box is, and where I can find one that picks up at the end of the day.

Rather than have text files scattered around the desktop, if there are some where you want to quickly see the contents - why not *show* the contents of the file ON the desktop?
