Re: How cluttered is your desktop?

Steve H, I see you have an icon on your desktop called "Ladyman1". You really should have removed your pr0n first

Here are my main 2 screenies. I normally start to act when I get on my 4th or 5th line. My start menu drastically needs sorting, it is already off the screen.

That's just wrong. As is having it full.

I have... the usual biz- my comp, documents, network places, the bin, i've made shortcuts to my pics and music, and the download directory, and the rest is just teh mozilla stuff (firefox, thunderbird, sunbird), IE and a few things I've installed recently and haven't got round to tidying off yet.

Basically, the things I use most often.

Don't even have that Anything I need close to hand is on the quick launch, the rest is in my start menu which is neatly sorted to make it easier to find things.

Right click here and save it to where you want. It should work.

Re: How cluttered is your desktop?

This might sound like a stupid question but where did everyone get the shiny taskbars / black taskbars from?
