Q: Opened files automatically appear on desktop

Whenever I open a file -- such as a JPEG, PDF, Word document, etc, my iMac automatically saves it to my desktop. So my desktop keeps getting cluttered with these icons for each file -- and if I open it multiple times, it creates multiple icons! How do I turn this feature off?

iMac, MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)
