Mhh, time for me to clean up some stuff then... I've counted 84 on my desktop... smiley

Anyway, my desktop background comes from Sparth, a concept artist I really admire:

Did that guy do anything for homeworld 2?

The filelinks are the problem. And it doesn't lag only when you enter windows, it lags eachtime you change something on the desktop like adding or deleting a file/folder/shortcut/whatever since windows refreshes the desktop, reloading those filelinks.

Hehe, me too. Don't know why but it sort of reminded me of the first one at the end where he realises he's "The One".

You're right, not much of anything to do with the Processor. It "eats" ram. Just because it's on your desktop, which is something Windows continuously refreshes. Not a big deal, having an actual background "eats" more.

I hope that Constatine doesn't blow like a lot of people are saying it will (not critics, mind you). I think it looks bad ass though, this may be what happens when Warner Brothers lets go of creative control to the actual film makers.

[edit]
My desktop

Everything's really small because I run at 1600 x 1200 and I shrunk it down to 800 x 600. No, that isn't the default blue, it's more vibrant.

If you're wondering what icons are in my tray: BT++, Yahoo, Mozilla, AIM, Norton, and InterVideo Manager

Nothing special, obviously. [addsig]
