wallpaper - whatever as long as i have an excuse for icons floating
around :biggrin:

My two most common backgrounds. As you can tell, I hate having stuff on
my desktop. And I take an hour or so every few weeks to re-sort all my
directories and documents so they're all in order.

It's a great theme based on the WinAmp 5 skin. Best theme I've ever
come across. Clean-cut and simple. While not disguising half the stuff
like most themes do.

Pretty cluttered. The overlayed "logo" bird thingy came from my fan
cover - I got bored and traced the outline of the fan cover, scanned it
in, and overlayed it. As I said, I was very bored...

I bought a digi cam just after I left snarkpit, I went on a holiday to
the outer hebrides over onto stornaway and then 13 miles down to the
bottom of the island, it ended up like an sas survival course which was
an experience, we stayed in a cottage by the loch which was about half
a miles over hillsides from the road (yes carrying shopping half a
miles over scottish hills helps you with your fitness somewhat) which
also for half of our time spent there had no water, fortunately its so
remote we fed pipes into the loch and used buckets in the waterfall for
flushing the toilet :S

anyway, I took a fair few photo's out there and used one of them as my wallpaper.

How on earth does having shortcuts on your desktop eat up your CPU? It may take a little while to initally load all of the icons, but outside of that, I can't really see this being true, andrei.

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.
