You need "WindowBlinds". Try http://www.wincustomize.com/index.aspx

You are limited as to how much you download from this site but I think about 50mb is free after which you need to buy one of the Stardock programs.:)

I do not use any program to install my themes, I use a uxtheme.dll patcher from neowin, then I download themes from Neowin or themexp.org and extra to c:/windows/resources

Works a Charm.

an untidy desktop defeats the point of shortcuts, as you have to search for the icon, be quicker selecting it from the menu

My most commonly used programs get automatically put at the front of the windows menu bar so I just quickly launch them off that.
I cant stand a cluttered desktop.
I also feel it loads faster when uncluttered.

Hear! Hear!:tu::tu:

I only have a recycle bin and Firefox. Anything else is on the task bar or start menu.

Don't let anyone get near your mouse! All it would take is a right click and anyone could alter your layout.:Yikes:

Printscreen and then do a CTRL+V to paste into Paint, save as JPEG, upload file to thread ;)
