I'm a little OCD and not a fan of desktop clutter. After downloading and installing Windows 7, there are several install files left on my desktop. Is it okay to move these to a different location, or will doing so cause issues (file not found, etc. etc.)?

Thanks!

What are the file names?.
But to answer your question. Yes you can remove them, simply right click on the icon/file then on the menu select delete, this will put them into the recycle bin. where they will stay until you empty it. So if it did cause any trouble you could just go to your recycle bin and select restore which will put them back.
