julianw Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 (edited) How do you take a picture of your desktop? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> One easy way is to press the Print Screen (Prt Sc) button and then paste it in Paint. @kum - Shhhh! There are kids visiting these forums for Christ's sake! Btw, one of those films has some nudity and I am not ashamed!!! Edited February 16, 2006 by julianw

alanschu Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 You asked for it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Holy crap (w00t) Someone needs to learn to organize. " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is organized. I know what's there It's a habit of just putting everything on my desktop, since it means that I have less difficulty in finding it...especially for software downloads. Though I have recently started downloading into a "downloads" folder, as I'm running out of real estate. It works nice because, for instance, to play Hearts of Iron 2 I just have to hit 'H' and hit enter. Oh, and I only count 96 icons!
Judge Hades Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 I only put the shortcuts on my desktop of games I am currently messy with.
alanschu Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 I only delete them if I need to make room for new ones. It's all about the minimal amounts of effort.

Diamond Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 (edited) PS It is interesting to see what's on people's desktops. Alan's is so far most curious. Edited February 16, 2006 by Diamond
alanschu Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Your icon placement is too artisitic! Is that the cover art from the first Vampire game?
Diogo Ribeiro Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Ah! Thanks Actually the current icon placement had a reason; it was meant to go along with a wallpaper I made so that together it felt more uniform and user-friendly (for instance one of the shortcuts in it is actually a folder with a custom icon that has links to game shortcuts, another is for programs, etc.). In time the wallpaper moved on but the positioning remained.
alanschu Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 (edited) I prefer the queue of icons that start from the upper left, and work their way down until they hit the bottom, at which point they start just to the right of that previous column. Less work :D Though I'm not sure how, they have been slightly altered. For instance, Half-Life 2 is not first, even though I got my computer 2 days before it came out (with the sole purpose of playing Half-Life 2). There may have been some other installs first, but Pirates! and Vampire should be after them definitely, as they were purchased well after Half-Life 2. Though it is appropriate that they are beside each other...I got both for Christmas one year. I imagine I did a rearrange at one point, if perhaps the alignment got messed up or something. Games like BF2 filled voids left by uninstalled games. Edited February 16, 2006 by alanschu
LadyCrimson Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 (edited) I don't know how people can stand 'busy' desktops. I used to have lots of shortcuts but I found I never actually used them much. I guess I don't have enough things I want to access any faster than opening Explorer (always open/in the taskbar) or via whatever program I have open. Don't have much installed either, in fact I need to uninstall a few games. My desktop is usually filled with the PSP window anyway...sometimes it's up for days.

Diamond Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Of course. Best anime ever. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It was kind of refreshing after all other animes with emo protagonists.
