What is your current desktop wallpaper? (at work or at home, doesn't matter) Mine is just black colour. Rickard Andersson Here is my card, contact me later! UIN: 50302279 Sonork: 37318
I'm sticking with the plain vanilla Windows 2000 wallpaper. I once tried a custom one and it was a nightmare. A lady friend with a new digital camera sent me a very explicit photo of herself, so on a whim I right-clicked it and set it as my wallpaper. Later, when I was expecting visitors, I tried to remove it. Yikes! Every time I rebooted it came back!!! It tooks hours of spelunking to find the multiple copies (with varying names) of that pic on my system, but Windows had no problem locating them whenever it wanted to restore my wallpaper. I still have no idea why it didn't just revert to the default I selected... probably just one of those little flukes that sometimes happen on a Windows PC. I'm not risking that again!

I don't think I've had more than 10 icons at once (work computer: home pc has many many games icons) Let's see: Outlook, IE, DevStudio, WebLogic, Perforce, Eclipse. Yeah, that's about it. + the standard My Computer, Network Neighborhood, and Recycle Bin. At least use a dark purple or blue instead of black. :-D The kindest thing you can do for a stupid person, and for the gene pool, is to let him expire of his own dumb choices.

Small source files for example do I put on my desktop so I can reach faster. Rickard Andersson Here is my card, contact me later! UIN: 50302279 Sonork: 37318

Mine is a 2D picture of the world. It's detailed enough that I can find countries, latitude/longitude, etc to go along with a story I might be reading.

It's a real memory hog. The UI sucks bigtime. But...not only that, the "screensaver" that rotates through your photos...isn't a real screensaver. It's just a full screen window that acts like one. So when my mom wanted to stop my 2 and 4 year old brothers from messing with the computer, she put a password on the screensaver. However, this only deterred them for about a day, when they discovered (2 and 4 year olds mind you) that the Windows key circumvented the entire thing, popped up the start menu, and then from there they just clicked the Show Desktop icon in the Quick Launch area. (I should hire them for QA testing on my software. :-D) I just hate that application. It's so shoddy and, to me anyway, feels like it. Instead I use Jason Henderson's WallpaperQ

David Stone wrote: It's a real memory hog. The UI sucks bigtime. I agree w/ both of those. The Photo Manager, for instance, leaks memory, and you can't use the arrow keys to select different photo collections from the listbox, because it always sets focus to the photo thumbnail view. No search, either. However, I like all the free nature shots, and I haven't gotten around to finding out how to export all the images from the *.wbc files programmatically. I'll put up w/ the shoddy app for that if necessary to get them.

Another complaint...proprietary format. :) Can't you download the images themselves straight off the WebShots site in jpg format or something anyway?
