mark7667 09-12-2002, 10:35 PM Oh the above names are the icons in my desktop, I forgot to mention it. Sorry.
Pookie 09-12-2002, 10:50 PM I only have one icon on the desktop, the recyling bin, the rest is all held in pookbar. :D
Kitaiko 09-13-2002, 01:40 AM Thats the one with the anime on it isnt it. R O Y G B I V. This post isnt long enough.
Pookie 09-13-2002, 02:50 AM Yeah it is. :P
henszey 09-13-2002, 04:08 PM Why list whats on my desktop when i can show you!
Iceplug 09-13-2002, 04:14 PM Nice desktop. It almost looks rather distracting with all of the bright colors. :)
Sadly, I wish I could post mine. :(

Now that has to be the understatement of the day... :p

OK. How wide is your desktop?
Looks double-screenish.
It almost looks like a My Documents folder.
unless you emptied that onto the desktop ;).
Banjo 09-13-2002, 04:46 PM Bloody hell, how do you find anything. Sub-folders man, sub-folders.
Mine is pretty boring (and just a few less icons that Henzey has ;)):
Bucky 09-13-2002, 04:51 PM C'mon, give henszey a break. At least he as descriptive file names
such as "thefile.zip", "Project1.exe", and "Things.jpg".
And don't forget the ever-useful "Shortcut to Desktop" on his desktop. :D
Banjo 09-13-2002, 04:53 PM :D
orufet 09-13-2002, 05:09 PM My Computer and Recycle Bin

chris00 09-13-2002, 06:26 PM henszey

Spike 09-13-2002, 06:35 PM Heres mine.

chris00 09-13-2002, 06:49 PM Heres mine, it pretty clean:):
Xilica2k2 09-13-2002, 06:54 PM Man, I'll posts mine later, kinda clean though..
MTgeekMAN 09-13-2002, 07:12 PM Heres Mine
pretty clean
AtonalPanic 09-13-2002, 07:18 PM My sorry litttle desktop, some images have been censored due to no reason at all.
Bucky 09-13-2002, 07:19 PM I used to make a special background in PSP that had lines and
titles, and then I'd group the icons in the right areas. Now I do
that instinctively, and always around the border of the monitor.
I dunno why, I just like it that way. It's a nit-picky thing.
It also leaves a convenient place for cool pictures. :D
Weird... uploading the picture again
Bah... that's screwy. I'll try again later
Xilica2k2 09-13-2002, 07:22 PM Here is my Desktop
Behold...
Xilica2k2 09-13-2002, 07:23 PM My resolution is 1600x1200 by the way.
chris00 09-13-2002, 08:53 PM xilica2k2 your desktop is clean. I had more things on my computer from the Windows install. :)
Bucky 09-13-2002, 09:16 PM Maybe this attachment will come out better...
henszey 09-13-2002, 09:26 PM From Bucky
C'mon, give henszey a break. At least he as descriptive file names
such as "thefile.zip", "Project1.exe", and "Things.jpg".
I know exactly what each of those are! I think....

And don't forget the ever-useful "Shortcut to Desktop" on his desktop.
FYI: That is a shortcut to a desktop on another computer.
From chris00
Btw. Are you running multiply monitors ???
Yes I am.
Agent 09-13-2002, 09:27 PM I keep my desktop like I keep my desk, room, and closet. This
is my laptop's desktop.
To pacify the 56k (and under) users, I have made it optional to
download my picture. Thank you.
File size :: 45 Kilobytes

Me too, I clean my room one a *cough*, and I keep my computer always around 90% full, that only about 14 Gig (Can't wait till I get a 100+ Gig drive).
Pookie 09-13-2002, 09:57 PM Okay, here's my desktop, with Pookbar open so you can see how I access all my programs/files. :D
Project1 09-13-2002, 10:04 PM Heres mine...
Angela 09-13-2002, 10:26 PM How can I make my desktop clear with no icons? Can you help me to do that?
Pookie 09-13-2002, 10:28 PM You selected them all, and press delete... :)
Angela 09-13-2002, 11:22 PM Then how can I bring them back again? Is there any single step like that???
Pookie 09-13-2002, 11:44 PM You then to go the recycling bin and select all the files and click restore. :)
Pookie 09-13-2002, 11:47 PM One other method, with XP, don't know about 98, is you right click on the desktop then select Arrange Icons by ->Show Desktop Items
Robby 09-14-2002, 12:05 AM Pookie, delete them? Not system folders you don't. RightClick desktop >> Show Desktop Icons (Win2k/Win98) and Pookie's way for WinXP.
Xilica2k2 09-14-2002, 04:53 AM Yeah I know I like Clean Desktops, once I get Windows 2k it will be even cleaner. With XP I like how you can have your whole desktop cleared.
Robert Neilson 09-14-2002, 06:26 AM heres mine: lol donnt ask what anything is - i dont know myself :)
Iceplug 09-14-2002, 09:38 AM This is not my desktop. This is my Zip disk that functions sort of as my desktop. It's junky and large and this is the bottom third of it.
I highlighted my avatar and I know exactly what all of those files are.... :) Well, maybe not.
Robby 09-14-2002, 10:00 AM Pookie, did you code/design the PookBar? Very nice.
Wamphyri 09-14-2002, 10:48 AM My plain old desktop
Gamer X 09-14-2002, 07:07 PM Oooh, Pookie, mega-cool. Just wondering . . . where's the anime background from?
Mine isn't too much. All I keep on the desktop is the stuff I'm using currently. I prefer to keep program links and such in a (very) large folder in the Start Menu. While my room has densly populated corners, and my closet's a loss, my computer is meticulously organized . . .
Pookie 09-14-2002, 07:30 PM Re: Robby and Gamer X, Yes I wrote it myself as I use the computer a lot to load a lot of different programs all the time, I just got tired to either having icons all over the desktop, or taking up all the space in the taskbar, plus found it annoying to use the start -> programs, etc to load programs, so the solution was to write a small program which allows you click on the icon in the sys tray to open that window up at where you can access anything you want with another click of the mouse...
That background pic is Minmay from Macross (Robotech), but I have around 10 pics and 5 overlays to choose from if I get tired of seeing one pic/style too long.... :D
