Please clarify "everything."

Do you mean "everything downloaded from the internet using a browser?"

You don't want to save stuff to your Desktop. Having a ton of icons on the desktop will actually slow your Mac down, because it's trying to render all of them at once. One or two won't hurt, but if you're careless for a while, it gets pretty cumbersome.

If using Firefox, just go to Firefox > Preferences > General, and set it there.

You can do that in Safari too.
Safari- preferences- General- Save downloaded files to- Change that.

The reason i do that is so i can save it to a file on the DT because most of what i save is only temporary,plus if i want to print or email i don't have to look for it.It's just a Windows thing.
