The wallpaper changes every 3 hours, but the MSSTYLE and ObjectDock styles stay pretty much the same.

@ Digital_Trucker

Very nice!

Digital_Trucker · 04-11-09, 09:22 AM

Thanks, Kiwi

After years of having a desktop full of shortcuts, it's very enjoyable to have a nice clean screen to work with, yet still have one or two click access to the hundreds of shortcuts that I just don't seem to be able to live without

Fine fine..

Though I will mention that since i am switching computers that i had cleaned up the desktop so its not to its usual "only the last row left" 90%+ filled, but more around 50%.

Damn image venue keeps changing the location of the jpg, they never use to do that. Switched to the gold frog guys

HOLY MOLY !!!

Hmmm weird my photo disappeared. Fixed for now hopefully, if not ill change hosts.

I use to have more shortcuts but I got rid of a lot of them in the cleanup job in preparation to move over, same for patches, archives, text documents, etc.
I'm also going to have to update the desktop copy I made as i had planned to fully transition back almost 2 months ago, but with the university semester from hell (2 month bus strike, and other problems put me seriously behind in class) and me not being a young 20 something (try 30 something) I didn't have time to beyond doing the first backup.

Anyhow my normal desktop is like i said usually to the last row, and that's at 1600x1050 which gives me a ton of desktop space to fill. The odd thing though is i usually can find stuff pretty easily on it. Unless windows ticks me off and surprise rearranges everything. Maybe some day ill transition to something a bit easier to manage, but I'm not in any rush.

As for the prank, ya that would work though you would have to edit it slightly, and make sure its a maximum resolution shot (bmp) or they will notice. Just dump everything into a folder and tuck it away someplace.
