And as for my desk? Sometimes I spent the whole morning looking for my waterproof keyboard with four years worth of coffee spills. Now I've moved office, I've got a new PC, desk, the lot. I haven't had time to untidy it yet. The new cleaner is already threatening to tip the entire contents of my desk out the window!! Should that be :omg: or :cool: ? Jeremy Davis http://www.astad.org

                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?

Well what can I say? It is certainly "unique". :rolleyes: ____________________ 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.

                                          Did you write your own shell, or use litestep or another shell replacement? "There is a fine line between lunacy and genius; it is my goal in life to keep them guessing just where the line lies..." -- Unknown

                                          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.)
