Just 4 Fun - Post up your desktop!

This can be an entertaining thread and help identify those non-MS OS bohemians out there as well. :p

Mine's a bit minimalist from the icon standpoint, as I keep most of my browsing links on a custom web page for easy "anywhere" access...

Ok,
For the record, Microsoft operating systems and software sucks. They just copy what Apple innovates and call it there own from the GUI interface in the early eighties to blatant copying of OS X in the most recent Vista operating system. I have used both and macs are just better because they match hardware and software to integrate flawlessly. The only thing I can say good for Microsoft is that Bill Gates gives to the poor for a fat tax break and thats about it. Ok Sorry...Here is my desktop....

I run a dual screen set-up. Thats why it looks like the windows bar(?) is in the middle, its actually on the left side of my right monitor. Left is 22inch @1680x1050, right is a 19inch @1600x1200. Icons are messy, I clean it up once a month or so, if I get to it.

[snowtrooper1966]

The "print screen" button seems to be dead on my keyboard. Is there another way....?

If you're trying to capture images on the screen using the print screen button and it is not working, you may want to try a third-party program to capture images; a listing of these programs can be found on our screen shot definition page (http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/s/screshot.htm).

I hope this helps.:)

Hey...I did it!:thumbup:

I was never able to get my "prt scrn" button to work either.

Big Thanks to Kodiak for the link, I downloaded the "screenshot utility" program from the list on that site & BINGO...here's my incredibly cluttered desktop for all the world to see.:cool:

[snowtrooper1966]

Kodiak, thanks!
Now Iv'e learned to put images in my gallery so I will be able to post full size pix in posts.
This is a phot of Snowtrooper Jr. from about two years ago. I figure I will have no problem getting him to do stuff, lest this photo make it into the hands of his friends;)

WORMGOD - Would that happen to be a picture of VULCAN???

LDUB - How come there doesn't seem to be a single work related icon on your desktop?

Unfortunately we are not allowed to have a custom wallpaper on our desktop or laptop anymore so I won't post a pic of mine - it would bore you to tears - it looks very much like the blue screen of death that all windows users know & dread. I don't bother with the desktop at home - it's just for the kids to use & trash.

I'll try to put the pic I would have liked to use in my gallery though.

I’m a database engineer. I specialize in SQL. I design setup and support customer management systems and call centers. Being self employed has its benefits. But I do miss the feeling of being blissfully unaware of the company’s financial situation until the day you’re laid off.:rolleyes:

[Bulldoggie]

Ya can really clean up the look of your desktop by removing those annoying
little arrows, using a custom icon that fits the theme of each item, and making
the text description short enough to fit on one line.

To remove the arrows with XP-
Start menu>Run>Type Regedit>Expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT>Scroll down to
folder called LNKFILE>Single click on the folder>In the right pane right click on
IsShortcut and click delete.

To change the icon with XP-
Right click on the icon>Properties>Shortcut>Change icon.

Ya can create your own custom icon like I did for my VX Documents folder.

I hate that too. A former technician at work used to change all the computers to that and I would put it back. I finally had him fired.... J/k he did that to himself. Now all how I want them

[tom4bren]

Since I can't put what I want as a background on my screen, I printed the pic I referenced earlier (post #56) as an E size drawing & put it on my wall. The resolution wasn't quite good enough ... but I likey.

Don't tell my boss but I think I killed a brand new ink cartridge:)

OK, managed to make it my desktop - pretty sweet.

[WormGod]

WORMGOD - Would that happen to be a picture of VULCAN???

Vulcan? You mean like Star Trek? If so, sorry, am not and have never been a Trek fan, heh. If some other Vulcan, that completely went over my head, you may have to explain some more so it can sink into my dense skull.

No sir, but there is a complete folder, updater, and executable icon and link to the Fallout 3 test, hehe. Ooops, I leaked the test icon. :p
