I just thought we could a thread about our own weird desktops.

Being "fanatics", this should be interesting :evil:

OK, I'll not run for the most original, nor even for the best, but here is mine :D :

Recently, I took my new camera and took this photo that may be my new desktop, when LOTR fever passes:

So, comments and other desktop pics would be appreciated :cooool:

If you bought LOTR OST (original sound track), with the cover of the movie poster (not sure about the other version), it says "Enhanced CD". Well, that's why it is enhanced: he has 6 great pics and some web links that are quite cool.
Just try it.
Maybe it is in lordoftherings.net also...

It's easy to get rid of My Documents and My Computer icons.
It's in Desktop properties a option to do that, IIRC.
All it requires is to uncheck a box!

How do you get rid of My Documents in the my computer?

i've done this long time ago, so I'm not sure about the tree - it must be HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current version/policies/explorer - in this folder make a DWORD parameter called 'No DeskTop' and change its value to 1.
I know it works in Win98 plus (not sure about SE), it also should work in Millenium.

Belive me when I'm saying Sunet is fast, very fast (it has nothing to do with DC++, but trust me on another thing DC++ is much better than regular DC) and I'm having fast broadband. So it's possible to even get higer speed than 7.7 megs/second (if you download from the correct user).

Use Print Screen/SysRq button to record your desktop (make sure you are on the desktop)
Then use ctrl V to paste it into your fave paint package.

Save it as a jpeg or gif, I recommend jpeg.

If your jpeg image is below 100kb, use the 'attach file' option on the posting screen.

Or perhaps you could upload a bigger jpeg to the archives by using the upload to server option at the bottom of the screen.

Then all you do is use the IMG button to indicate where the URL of your image is located!

Simple! :)

Agreed! The F-15 kicks ass!

Here's mine. . . I scaled it down, as I like the 1280x1024 desktop. Nothing special, but it is my workstation. I had a few F-22 backgrounds, and my 'overflow' station @ work has a top down of the F-22. . . I'll have to do a screenie on it sometime.

Turner
Mar 28, 2003, 04:13 AM
First you need the address of the image. You can get this by right clicking the image and selecting properties. At least, in IE you can. I'm not sure about the others.

Once you have the addy for the image, put it inside image tags, and it will pull it up.

For instance, this pic @ yahoo. http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20030327/capt.1048800483.iraq_war_baghdad_nyet185.jpg

The setup is a little different now, with One or Two seed squares on the pato grill, just under a meter to the left of the door and Three seed trays one where the king parrot is on the right, one where the rosella is and one, with catfood in, next to the brick pillar on the right.

Object Desktop, by StarDock

The icon launcher (only vaugely similar to Mac OSX) is Object Dock, a freeware [perpetual] beta product.

The icons on the left side are part of the WindowsFX software.

Strardock does a lot fo freeware and shareware GUI mod software and games. They have an excellent new game called Galactic Civilizations that is similar to a game you should be familiar with.

The wallpaper is one I made from the Akira move poster.

I've done that to my wife. . . I had the network connections TCP/IP dialog copied to the desktop because I was messing around with some settings, and she kept trying to close it out.

I used to do that at work to, on our Windows98 boxes. I would make a screenie of the login box, make it the desktop, move all the icons off-screen, and then watch them try to log into it. Great fun!

I feel so dull in comparison to all your desktops! I still have "Bliss" from Windows XP. I think it's time for a change! *Searches for and changes desktop* Okay, there we go, I now have a 2003 Silver Porsche Carrera GT on my desktop!
