Post a picture of your desktop here!

Warning: If you have a slower connection this thread'll probably take a while to load.

How to do it:

1. Adjust your windows and stuff so you can see the desktop, or whatever else you want to see.

2. If you have MS Windows:
Hit the Print Scrn/SysRq key on the upper right hand of your keyboard.

3. Open up MS Paint and hit Ctrl+V.

4. Crop and size the picture.

5. Save it on your hard drive.

6. Go to VillagePhotos.com or PhotoBucket.com and upload the picture.

7. Post it on here!

This is my fantasterrificabulous desktop.

The little gun there isn't my background, but my winamp player. I'm all about matching and altering my desktop in every way shape an' form.

Now, Mikey's not my favorite (Raphael and Donatello are), but I have him up because I'm practising my 'chucking lately and he kind of "helps to inspire me", ya know?

Hmm, you don't have to fill your desktop up with Icons. You can hide all your icons by right clicking on your mouse, and then change something under Proberties i think!!! I'm not sure what you call it, cause my windows is in Danish

Yeah I hide all my icons or for certain things like messengers I just delete them cause it just takes up space and I dont need them there anyways.

I change mine almost daily, so it's not worth me posting a pic. Usagi Yojimbo is on right now though.

If you look at mine, you'll a little folder in the QuickLaunch bar. That's where I put all of my stuff, but all of my programs are in my start bar.

All the stuff I need to use is right in my Start menu. I have thirteen shortcuts pinned to my Start menu.

The stuff I have on my desktop are only there because I either can't remove them (Recycle Bin) or I need them their otherwise I'll forget about them ('To Get' List and other urgent messages). I don't really know why I have the media player shortcut. I might as well delete that thing.

How is that complicated? All I have to do is click on the little folder without minimizing everything.

if i got you right then all you have to do is open the image in Photoshop or something and change the size of the picture

Do you mean making it a difference size (changing it from 2000x1500pixels to, say, 1000x750pixels, or smaller) or actually changing the resolution (DPI)? Both can be corrected using a photo editor. Most people have Adobe Photoshop or something similar.
