I'd personally recommend DiskExpress (or similiar pay-ware program), which
compresses the Desktop as well as optimizes your disk.  I remember trying
one of the PD programs to compress my Desktop, and it got rid of more
than it was supposed to, since some programs lose their icon, and I had
to rebuild the desktop again anyways.
