I got a new computer desk-- heavy duty, weighs about 80lbs
-best I could do with webcam-

sweet, new desks rock!

Here's my very simple and clean dual monitor desktop.
I can't stand when people put ICONs on their desktop!
The desktop is just like a desktop in real life. You don't permanently store things there. You put them there temporarily while you're working on them. When you're done, they go in folders in the filing cabinet.
Honestly, when I get working my desktop fills up sometimes all the way with files that I'm just working on that day. I can't imagine trying to navigate around permanent icons all the time!
Need to launch a program? Bottom left.

I concur. I like my desktop naked too. Iconless. But I do have 9 quick launch items.

Basically, I took the essential from the desktop and threw it onto the quick launch. I see you have the Recycle bin there...

why are there two of these desktop threads? if this one is for messy desktops people seem to have missed that point...

SaberZ · Aug 16, 2004, 08:33 PM

This is my desktop, fairly clean I say.

digitalwanderer · Aug 16, 2004, 09:02 PM

I thought you meant the desk you keep your PC. My windows desktop is neater than hell, my real desktop I found a 13GB hard-drive and a Voodoo5 trying to find some papers I've misplaced.

SaberZ · Aug 17, 2004, 02:26 AM

lol

I hate finding things when cleaning around my room. I misplace a lot of things, I get angry because I can't find them, then replace them, and BLAM aw there it is...now i feel guilty. But without losing something old, you won't get that brand spanking newer version of it
