what a file is, other than "that thing on my desktop", for that matter; 
those are those folks who put files on their desktop rather than links).

It's just one click to remove the widget if unwanted, adding it if wanted is 
actually harder.

Desktops showing the contents of the Desktop folder have been the standard 
paradigm in computing since 1995, and are what users are used to.
