Temporary "Don't Delete" folders

We've all been there. A customer has a few files they are working on, and at the last minute, they realize they need to finish work on their project tomorrow, but it is not really worth creating an account for it. We tend to create special folders on the desktop saying "Don't Delete," sometimes with the initials of the consultant who created the folder.

However, this can be problematic because we don't know when the folder can be deleted. The result: the files sit around for way longer than they need to be.

My personal recommendation is to add a delete date in the folder entry. This way we can be sure the "Don't Delete!!!" folders crowding the desktop can actually be...deleted!
