February Desktops

I always seem to land back at Windows classic, with nothing on my desktop. For people who post in this thread I pose this question: How can I make my desktop more efficient? Seems like I'm fairly comfortable with it as it is, however...

I think your desktop has too many icons on it. You need to cut back on some of them :lol:

I was bored of mine and started playing around with Rocket Dock.

No wallpaper this time.

I got a digital camera for Christmas, and I have been trying it out over the last few weeks.

Here is one of my better shots (or prehaps my best so far...). A scene from The Royal Botanical Gardens, Edinburgh, Scotland.

I managed to get out on one of the few days it wasn't raining/snowing last month (January). It may not look it, but it was cold :).

recently got Vista :)

Sorry to hear that ;).

hehe. even though it has some pretty horrible reviews, i do like Vista. User Account Control is probably the only thing that i find horrid with it.

I'm glad you like Vista, and I'm glad you've said so. I get the feeling most people who dislike Vista have never tried it.

The User acount control is easily turned off via the security centre. Accessable via the control panel or from the security icon in the notification area.

It drove me crazy for a while, but taking into account all my other security measures, and my surfing habits, I took the discision to turn it off. That was over a year ago. I'm still malware/virus free.

I purchased a Nicon COOLPIX L11 last summer but could not afford an extra memory chip until September so I have not taken many pics yet as it is hard for me to get out with my arthritic hips acting up but I plan to take some bus day trips that are arranged in the Spring through the recreation committee in my apartment.

Hi Anthony :) , Nice wallpaper! I'm assuming that theme is "Zune" however the Icons displayed like that? where did you get them?

If your referring to my dock icons I spent several days searching through Deviant Art and Wincustomize looking for them. There are thousands of icons on those two sites. I also downloaded a little program that will give a reflection to any icon. So I customized some of them.

Hi Anthony ;) , I got "Rocket Dock" but I'm still trying to work out how to have a 3D looking dock?

I mean display the icon's on top of the dock.

My dock is 2D to look at, the icon's are flat against it.
