Desktop Thread
 

Seeing as loads of people hate these kind of threads and we haven't had one in ages, I thought I might as well post up a new one.

Here's my current desk. Wallpaper made by me, using Vista Ultimate, sidebar gadgets found in Windows Live Gallery and icons are from Deviantart on the dock. Am anticipating "mac clone" comments.

Bottom right hand corner is a samurize script I've just modified a bit - look for "crystalite sm" - is a collection of lots of little neat configs.

You have three clocks.

Re: Desktop Thread
 

Actually, you have four clocks. Why so many?

It's pretty dull.

Re: Desktop Thread
 

Your background picture says "Road to Nowhere", yet it clearly shows that it is a road to a city. Talk me through this. Talk me through the picture.

Re: Desktop Thread
 

Don't you find the side bar extremely ram guzzling?

Re: Desktop Thread
 

The whole thing is pretty pointless. I mean he's devoted a section of his desktop to telling him how many items are in his recycle bin. I can't see how you'd use it often enough to care; also if something is in the recycle bin then usually it means you don't want it anymore...?

I wondered why all those quicklinks at the bottom are needed. Do you really use ALL those programs so often that you need a quick icon link to them, Androme?

Sooping desktops on your computer up is the geek equivalent of painting "Go Faster" stripes on your car.

Re: Desktop Thread
 

Oh, and this is my desktop. Not very exciting.
The "startup.bat" file is something I double click on after I start the computer and it loads up iTunes, IRC, Firefox and MSN Messenger. I'd put them all on auto-start every time but sometimes I don't want them all coming on at once.

That's my dog in the background :)

Re: Desktop Thread
 

Nice idea :-)

Re: Desktop Thread
 

Mine also falls into the uninteresting catergory.

I love the fact that that Joe guy from Westwood Studios looks exactly the same in C&C as he did 10 years ago.

Re: Desktop Thread
 

nope my ram is high there because utorrent is running in compatibility mode and is being beh ram intensive - dont ask me why

Re: Desktop Thread
 

you are confused. i will tie you with egg noodle.

Re: Desktop Thread
 

While being confused, he does have a point.

Re: Desktop Thread
 

mine
kind of boring, but my hard disk is about to fall apart any minute now, so there is no point in making it look nice. (and vista is crap, if I have to reinstall my OS, im going back to XP)

Re: Desktop Thread
 

the one in the top-right hand corner has since been disabled, the vista orb clock i don't even use and is just there as i like the big blue orb, the clock underneath is the only one i use and the other one which is below 3 icons - that gadget comes with it and you can't remove the clock from it.

Re: Desktop Thread
 

Simple.

The only novel thing I have is Winamp as a thin always-on-top thing at the top of the screen.

Re: Desktop Thread
 

Something must be wrong with my Computer. I cannot do a print screen on it and paste it into something.

Re: Desktop Thread
 

Maybe the road stops before reaching the city.

Re: Desktop Thread
 

why the hell is everybody using vista?

Re: Desktop Thread
 

I have XP on dualboot.

Re: Desktop Thread
 

Ok I installed some updates and got the print screen working. Here is my desktop. I have some pictures of my wife and her friends for my background.

The second screen is my TV.

Re: Desktop Thread
 

what the hell? You're still using Windows 98?!?

Re: Desktop Thread
 

Yup. Windows 98 Second Edition. Amazing I can even get on the web.

Re: Desktop Thread
 

Surely it's not a Road to Nowhere then, but a Road To A Cul-De-Sac or similar?

Re: Desktop Thread
 

We have actually covered this in another thread where Travler states his computer is kind of old.

Re: Desktop Thread
 

That's pretty ace still using Windows 98. Retro OS :D

Re: Desktop Thread
 

Oh, this is going to be boring.


And on a high resolution for those who like scrolling.
