Weven and it's Stacks-like toolbar instead?

Heh, mine's like that too. 2x19" @ 1280x1024 screens with a lovely image of the sun rising over the Earth split over the two, like you're watching from orbit! :)

Never used RocketDock. I use a nifty, tiny little program called SlickRun[^] to launch my apps.

I can't publicly accept responsibility, but I enjoy hearing songs about my influence over other civilizations (and the occasional sacrificial virgins are a nice touch).

In my case I'm in a partnership with my wife so we're both the boss and we work from home more often than not, but she has absolutely no problem with me looking at boobies or anything else as long as the code continues to come out. She's an excellent wife in every way and just as likely to be looking at boobies or other stuff as I am anyway. ;)

One more American boasting out of ya', and you're off my list, buddy!

Meh, I prefer the cluttered desktop. Who needs a my docs when you got a desktop? I use the quicklaunch bar (or run menu win+r) to launch all of my apps and use my desktop to house all my projects/documents. I don't need a start menu or a mydocs folder.

[realJSOP]

Yep - looks adequate to me so far...

Icons are for sissies.

[Mark_Wallace]

I wouldn't last five minutes. Mind you, I have Iconoid installed on everything, set to "Always Hide", so desktop icons don't show up until I click on the desktop. The real biggie is that I have directories of shortcuts down the lower left-hand side of the desktop. Clicking on them and holding for half a second opens them up like the Start menu (thanks to KO Approach) -- but they're so much tidier and better organised than the start menu, because they only contain the shortcuts I want (no "uninstall" or "visit the website" clutter, and they're organised exactly as I want them)

I'm surprised nobody's suggested adding the "desktop toolbar" to your taskbar. That's what I do so I can easily get to desktop icons without minimizing all my windows :)

[Battlehammer]

The desktop is for viewing pictures and spacing out, isn't it?

[ecooke]

My Vista does that for me. Randomly makes them dissapear and making me select them all to bring them back at least once a day. Very clean. I like my corporate logo where I can barely see them in the first place....haha.

[JasonPSage]

Me too - I use that when I'm in the thick of it and minimize all seems frightening as I might "lose my flow"
