What does your desktop look like?

Delta Force the best icon on your desktop :)
You are the first CPian I've met who likes that game!

Here is my desktop. The only awesome thing about it is the IE button in the taskbar labeled "The Code Project" :) ... and of course, the 2003 Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG from SuperCars.net. -- LuisR ────────────── Luis Alonso Ramos Chihuahua, Mexico www.luisalonsoramos.com CPUA: 0xC0DE - No Sonork yet MiniPutt best: 20 "Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics, I assure you that mine are greater." -- Albert Einstein

Okay, so I'm bored, but it would be interesting to see what my fellow CPians choose to stare blankly at for eight hours each day (well six if you count the time they spend at this site). Here is my work desktop. What does your's look like? If you can't upload the picture anywhere, feel free to e-mail it to me and I can stick it on our webserver (BT are paying for it so why should I care? ;)) Just remember to compress it to at least 200 kb or my poor modem at home may well explode! ____________________ David Wulff There was a young man called Dave, Who dug up a prositutes grave, She was mouldy as shìt, And missing a tit, But look at the money he saved.

This. I bet I've got the most unique desktop of anyone =). I don't run explorer as the shell, I find it crashes far too much when I do. I run a shell of my own design, it is what gets me the runbox, the AIM window in windowshade mode in the upper right, and the A, O, and W buttons on title bars. Winamp gets a permanant place on the screen, outside of the work area. Screen resolution is 1400x1050, strange, I know, but it's the native res of the laptop panel, so I don't have much choice ;). When was the last time anyone saw windows minimized like that? Sorry, I couldn't resist. :laugh:

That's definetely unique wParam. :-) When you boot, how do you get your shell to run instead of Explorer's? What are the A O W buttons for? Regards, Alvaro Kinda hard to sign my name without anything to write with. Anyone got a pen?

Here's mine: http://www.btinternet.com/~bttlxe/Danield-Desktop.gif (Thanks to Dave for hosting the file) I'm actually using ActiveDesktop (horrors!), a few HTML files, some scripts, and WSH. Not a single .ICO and proud of it.

Yep, wrote it all myself. I looked at the litestep source to see how to create a system tray, but the rest was just me coding in my spare time. Unfortunantly it was also my first win32 program, so even though it's gone througn a major revision since then some of the tactics I used are pretty horrendous. (Like before I found out about malloc() I was using the registry to store dynamic data.)

Ditto :-) I just happened to see the link on your sig. and set the pic as wallpaper for my otherwise void background :-) Thanks for the wallpaper ... p.s starring :bob: for a long time makes me dizzy Kannan

I'm all for instant-access functionality...there's probably 100 items instantly accessible with a single click... I hardly ever use the Start menu, in fact I wish I could totally get rid of the taskbar, if not for the list of running programs and the tray...

To change the shell, you either set the shell= line in system.ini (in win9x) or change HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\shell to something else. In NT it's nice because even if you enter a path that doesn't exist, you can still start task manager and run somethign that way. Note that explorer will not show a start button and desktop unless it is set to be the shell. As for the buttons: A - (this letter is completely arbitrary) brings up a menu for quickly setting hotkeys to switch between windows. I use this when I have lots of winword.exe's open, because they all look the same in alt+tab O - Various options to perform on windows, such as setting transparency or alpha blending, setting always on top, cutting holes in, hiding, or terminating. W - Windowshade mode, like on a mac. It also allows you to set hotkeys for any command you could normally perform, so I have hotkeys for various things like controlling winamp. I also have ctrl+shift+alt+delete, which means "terminate the process that belongs to the window my mouse is pointing at" which I use way more often than I should. ;)

Cripes! This thread dropped off the radar quickly, but here goes anyway... My Work Desktop, it doesn't always look like this, this is a loan pc, while mine is in the shop, it died last week monday :(( My Home Desktop, nice and clean, I prefer to use the menu's than desktop icons. Though I do have another toolbar docked to the left of the screen. Bruce Duncan CP#9088, CPUA 0xA1EE, Sonork 100.10030

My god, it's the mirror of my desktop. Well, kinda. Well, not really. Except for the pr0n movies link, which I actually leave there since my mother cannot read anything on my screen without glasses.

Here's mine, I prefer a clean desktop mainly because I don't want to minimize everything to get to an icon. Which is why I have my taskbar in two rows, one for shortcuts the other for the program area. James Simplicity Rules!
