G800 Backgrounds!

[cerb]

I don't normally launch anything from the desktop - it's just that I accumulate a lot of miscellaneous files (from downloading, etc) there cause sometimes I couldn't be bothered putting it somewhere and then looking for it later. :-)

If you want an easy way to launch your apps, go check out Filing Cabinets at http://www.macroworx.com

It looks something like this -

Those little apps are cute (looks like OS/2 drawers, etc.) but you're introducing some more "questionable" SW into the mix that isn't necessary. If you like those extra features, knock yourself out. I try to limit myself to more mainstream apps to maximize system stability.

That's what I thought the beauty of my setup was: all standard stuffs that the explorer shell does Toolbars have been a standard part of the explorer shell since IE4, after all...

Want unstable extra interface stuffs? Litestep takes the cake there. click, crash, click, crash, click, crash...

Hrm, ever tried geoShell, though? Quite the stable replacement shell. Even better, try cmd.exe for your shell (in NT). You can still launch GUI apps by running them from the command line,and it's neat to see Windows boot to a command prompt

ph0rk, That's similar to how I have it configured. I run with "Desktop" and "QuickLaunch" toolbars enabled, no titles, of course with "Auto hide". I always thought "My Computer" cluttered things up too much but I'll try to use it awhile. For some reason I like the "Mystery" desktop theme. People look at it and think I'm running a game as all they see on the desktop is a picture of a study, with candles aglow.

What I have done in the past is to create a couple of folders on the desktop. One for applications and one for games and then put everything inside of them.

Nice! I usually don't run backgrounds on my system, but these are very good! I prefer the green one as well.
