Here's mine, until I've worked out how to make samurize configs stay behind other applications I'm not putting any more on it

LMAO... yeah

If this is ticked, click it again to make it un-ticked, so it stays behind the other windows


Also ive decided to wait for a few releases of config files... i seem to be hopeless at creating my own :S

Ok, I'm playing around with samurize, got simple meters showing cpu usage, disk space etc (alas don't seem to have temp sensors)
Question now is, how do I modify my desktop icons to look spherical and funky?

that is rather cool Xaccers.

I had best think about putting one on mine but there is normally so many windows open that I rarely see it.

You need to modify the registry but Google search for XTeq XSetup which can do it for you.

removing the names is very simple. simply delete the name then hold down alt and type 255. for the first thats ok but for the others you will need to type alt 255 2 times , 3 times etc so they are all not called the same. you must release the alt key between each repetition though. tweak xp has a function to remove the shortcut overlay as well. enjoy

Tricky- why edit out your local ip addy? 192.168.0.xxx
It does not give anybody anything that they can get to your comp with

I can't get rid of the Recycle Bin name!
I've tried the reg hacks and they haven't worked
What am I doing wrong?
