Good Evening Chaps! Here we shall post picrures of our desktops. This includes start menu, time in the bottom right hand corner and desktop icons. We shall also discuss our desktop pictures, and where we got the wallpaper and so on...

So let us start with my desktop picture ....

image

Now this desktop is from my Laptop. Its a nice compaq. The wallpaper is so pro, but I change it every now and again. Now on this computer I used to have Windows Vista, but it ran way to slow for my likeing, so I re-installed windows xp and copied over some of the Vista Icons to remind me of the old days (my computer Icon is vista)

The weird stuff folder on my desktop is where I put all this random crap that people give me, or that dosen'y fit anywhere else ( I dont use My documents )

I have deticated the top of the screen to Half-life and Half-life editing and the bottom to Halo and Halo editing. And you can see at the top, "reddawn screenshots" folder, full of pictures that may or may not be on a forum soon. The game-makeing folder is full of stuff for game-makeing. Its about 1gb big, and jam packed with programs, most of them stupid. The weirdst program in there is a pogram to add bots to half-life 1 multiplayer games. Thats a fun one. :P

I have a classic painting as my background. Can't you see how much better than you I am?

I used to be quite an icon whore -- then I put them in those folders you see in the image, and I was suddenly able to see my desktop.

Ps. Desktop colors are pitch black with phosphorus green text image It's very easy on the eyes, particularly when you have to work on a long paper.



Breaking the laws of mapping since 2003 and doing a damn fine job at it

1. Firefox is god
2. BF2142 is a decent game, not worth $50 bucks though. If its on sale get it.
3. My back round is a fractal. Did some Google image searches for fractals one day until I found a cool looking one.

For your information, Aaron, I'm running windows 2000. I see nothing wrong with that. For the avoidable security risks I've not been immunized from by upgrading, I'm without the security risks from XP. (Not to mention a few dozen megs of memory and a few million neurons saved by not having some of the new "helper" programs.)

rs6, I'm going to go look up fractals on Google Image Search. I can't believe I forgot about those.

You have to be a moron to think firefox is stupid. wait wait. Maybe I shoudl ask first..what browser are you using now? If your using opera, then good choice, its almost as good. If you say IE, then your a whore, switch to Firefox and watch all your spam go away. Honestly if your even remotely computer savvy you'd know firefox is a much better choice in terms of web browsers.

Anyways heres mine, not much in terms of background, but the fancier the back ground the longer it takes to load the desktop when your tabbing from Source engine to hammer. =P

XP is 2000. The security holes existent in the 2K kernel are present in the XP kernel. Not defending it or anything, just pointing that out.

He uses IE. We've had this discussion before.



Blame it on Microsoft, God does.
