Well would Hoyle Classic Card Games count as "dodgy"? Or Spider Solataire? Because theyre not on my desktop, but I play them.

So far I only saw 2 desktops, yet there are 3 pages already.
I'll post mine sometime too.
But not now.

I'm tired.

You're kinda serious about sercurity aren't ya? ZoneAlarm and NIS??

Anyway, here's my rather plain desktop. And yes, that's a pic of the shuttle above central NZ taken from the ISS. The harbour at the top left up from the clouds is the city of Wellington where I live.

This is mine
I always use the top right corner for games, and the downright for internet use.

I once made a screenshot of the desktop of a friend of mine, and then made it his background.
Then i moved all of his icons to his my documents directory.
You can guess what happend

[EDIT] Mmm, can't seem to attach the file, it's to big.
Anyone has any ideas how to make the file smaller?
I tried making it smaller, but it still comes out 146k large

[EDIT2] Removed the background.... will post them all together as soon as I figure out how I can make it smaller

This topic is so utterly uninteresting so it's fun, good idea Bloodmist!

Here is my plain and minimalistic desktop at work, the picture is shot by me, it's the vulcano Gorely's(sp?) fabolous exposion caldera at the Kamchatka penisula.

LOL...CE (if you are on a Win98 clone), just save it as a JPEG with Save As in paint (open the drop down to select file type)...then click 'options' at the bottom right...you should get a bar to chose how high-res it is

Below :

My fascinating desktop, a testament to my former emphatuation with virtual snooker simulations and mario roms Possibly the onle thing of any interest is my IIRC 400+ page text document of David Bowie lyrics...

@Frogus: Thanks, as you can see I deleted the old post. I just rescaled the image to 65% instead. I'm om 2k at work, btw.

Your desktop How do you survive all those icons, it's a virtual test of visual screening ability
