Why not? Don't hold yourself back. If that's what your desktop looks like, so be it. The power of equality!
well, Thanks!
often guys get bored with MY pics, as my linux is sick and has a boo boo at the moment (going to the linux doc later today), i'll post a link to one of the pics I like to use.

mmmmmmm, nice.

A not so special pic of my Amiga 4000 desktop here.

And a pic of newscoaster running with a program I wrote a while back here. (Bulk newsgroup decoder.)

I know everyone's been waiting with baited breath for me to post these.. :lol:

Something I've never really understood is the desktop fetischism concerning pictures of ones desktop showing nothing more than a background picture...? I mean, that doesn't really feel like a descriptive desktop shot to me, it is more like a snapshot of a wallpaper in action...  :lol:

Doh...

I just downloaded StyleXP to see some new desktops, I saw somebody else on this thread was using it. I never should have downloaded that crap- it installed 30+ spyware in Windows. Beware.

Yep...  All you need is the XPStyle.dll or something like that.  (Don't quote me on the name, but it's a single DLL that will let you choose any style in your desktop settings, instead of only signed MS ones.)  It was a real bugger to swap out that single DLL, though, as Windows detects the DLL change, and wants to put it's signed version back.  Why can't Windows be this protective when Spyware tries to replace files??  Even just a yes/no prompt would be nice.  (Grumble, grumble...  Stupid Microsoft.)

it's to protect kids randomly mashing the keyboard and "deleting" the windows folder  :-?

but yeah, you have to go into safe mode

Well, yeah... But, obviously, the detection routine is there...  Why don't they use it to warn against Spyware?  Or to Codecs that get hosed by an idiotic install script?  To me, these are two things that are much more likely to happen than someone going in and hap-hazardly changing/altering/deleting DLLs manually.  (which was why I tangented on a "stupid Microsoft" rant.)

Actually, you can't access the windows folder on xp by default. You have to change some sttings in explorer to get in there, so IMHO no kids could "accidently" delete anything there. What I hate about Win**** is that you have no control on what is actually installed. If some amiga-installer tried something like spy-ware, I would know the instant it was installed by looking in wb-startup, s:startup-sequence and s:user-startup. Windows' settings  should have been just as easy to navigate. the registry is quite a task to keep track of.........impossible IMHO.
