Read through page 2.  Awesome.

At first I had no idea what you were going on about.  Then I saw the screenshot!  Hahahahah!

[Quemaqua]

Haha, that's funny.  It kind of got spoiled though because somebody changed their sig to the folder name.  Oh well.  Still hilarious.  Best pwn ever.

[Antares]

Yeah, I saw that too so I kind of saw the joke comming. Still awesome though.

[Cobra951]

His "Quake 4 crack" shortcut pales in comparison.

[iPPi]

Ouch.

[Pugnate]

OMG! Hahaha.

edit:

Why the hell can't something like this happen on our forum?

*looks at Schlotzky5*

[Cools]

Ohhhh Pug....

[Pugnate]

You can view pictures on Macs now?

[Ace_O_Spades]

yeah, I saw this a while ago... It's become almost staple for a desktop screenshot thread to have at least one desktop with "Shemale Vids" on it. Hilarity, pure hilarity

[TheOtherBelmont]

This reminds me of one of my friend's computers, on his desktop he had a folder called Not Porn which contained massive amounts of it.  When I used to keep icons on my desktop my Firefox icon was named "internets".

[Pugnate]

Am I the only one here who keeps just about nothing on his desktop? All I have is the Recycle Bin and a shortcut to FireFox. That's all you see if you see my desktop, you won't even see the start bar since it is on autohide.

On the start bar are all my quick launches.

[PyroMenace]

No Pug you arent the only one. Thats how I keep my desktop too. I use my quicklaunch, and I have all my shortcuts to my games in a quicklaunch on my start bar.

[Quemaqua]

I don't like the start bar, I don't like quick launches, and I don't like the desktop.  I keep my stuff in separate directories all organized by program type (media, system, file&ftp, game, etc.).  I try to use everything else as little as possible.

[Cools]

Interesting

Yeah that's pretty close to what I have now, just the recycle bin and a shortcut to my second HD on my desktop, everything else in Quick Launch.

I hate the Start menu for how quickly out of hand it gets (why can't devs be responsible and categorize their shit appropriately?  Like why can't game publishers put their games in the fucking "Games" folder?

I don't like the Quicklaunch bar because I usually have a ton of things open and therefore lots on the taskbar I switch between.  If I use Quicklaunch it starts grouping things and I hate that.

I use desktop shortcuts a lot.  I don't have a huge amount of desktop icons, but I have the programs I use most often on there, and I kind of do what Que does a little.  Like i have a Games folder on my desktop that contains launchers for all my games.

Yep, it's huge.  I use the scroll option.  I can't stand the default listing across the whole screen.  For a while, I was moving all games entries manually into the "Games" folder, but I got lazy.  That also means that when I uninstall, I need to move the game folder back out of "Games" first.  Otherwise, I need to delete it manually after the uninstall.

I'm curious to know what happened to the guy, I havent bothered going through all the pages in the thread.

Vista has better game intergration so they'll be a folder for all your games and the shortcuts will go there.

[Antares]

I've given up on the start menu entirely, it is pointless to try and organize it, and some programs have a way of sticking around even after you've uninstalled them.
I  use 5 quicklaunch buttons: Show Desktop, Firefox, Photoshop, my Mp3 player software and IE.  I never use IE anymore so I should probably delete it.

 I have about 1 column of icons on my desktop that rotates pretty frequently depending on what I've been using lately. 99% of my stuff is organized in a single folder called "Stuff" that is further divided by category.

On a side note, I have all the programs I use at work lined up in a horizontal row on my desktop at work that I open from left to right in the mornig so everything is open and in the same place on the toolbar every day. One morning a lady came by and noticed this and thought it was the strangest thing she had ever seen.

[scottws]

Handy tip:  Windows key + M minimizes all open programs.  I use it constantly ever since I learned it.

I too am particular at work.  I do help desk, and I have tons of shit open.  PuTTY for connecting to stores, an AS/400 client, a few browser windows, several instances of the call logger, the work IM thing, work e-mail, a few Excel spreadsheets, etc.  Because of how much stuff I always have open, I use the taskbar on the right side so that nothing groups.  It's weird at first, but you get used to it.

I like to have it all in the same order too.  I should try the desktop-icons-in-order thing.

[Quemaqua]

That's funny, scott, I do the same thing, though I leave my bar up at the top of the screen at work.  But I always have all the programs in the same order.

And I forgot to mention that I do use the desktop -- just mostly for storage.  I generally have a bunch of folders with pictures or music or whatever there just for easy access.  Though most of my really valuable stuff (like writing projects, etc.) are elsewhere.

[Cobra951]

I use the desktop too.  I keep all kinds of audio and video tools under a shortcut (to a folder) I called "Digital Suite".  I also have a "Media Players" shortcut (obvious contents) and a "Clutter" shorctut, for dumping all those things that end up on your desktop from software that doesn't really need any extra shortcuts (like the AnyDVD driver, e.g.).

[Cools]

I tend to use my Desktop like Cobra. I have folders for downloads, temp items, videos, training, todos, and usually a few folders with shortcuts to current projects. Every few weeks it gets cluttered so I go through it and reorganize it again (mostly deleting and moving to my temp folder).

Usually other than the few folders, it's rather clean, unless I'm in the middle of a big project and with that respect I oftend find a cluttered Desktop gets in the way and can be distracting so I'm thinking of making a few changes in my organization hierarchy in the near future (possibly coupled with a reinstall).

[W7RE]

I use my desktop, and it stays messy.

The left monitor is World of Warcraft. Even if I'm not at the computer, chances are WoW is open on that monitor and I'm AFK in town. I run it windows with the maximized option on so I can alt-tab to Opera or whatever without delay. On the desktop, hidden behind WoW is a bunch of game shortcuts and music videos.


The right monitor is everything else. Opera is open at full screen on it 90% of the time, and the start bar is at the top double thick for lots of taskbar room. On the desktop is about 10 text files with various WoW junk. (materials lists for grinding professions up, list of gear on an alt for my future blood elf paladin, stats on my rogue at various levels from 60-70 on beta.

Quick Launch:
World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft TBC beta
Warcraft Model Viewer
Ventrilo
AIM
Winamp
Opera

Start:
My Music
My documents
My Downloads




I almost never go down to "All Programs", and when I do it's multiple columns wide. I'd clean it up or change it to scrolling, but I never use it, so I don't really care. I find that when running a game on my PC constantly, shit slows down (especially on a PC that's starting to get pretty old) I hate waiting for the taskbar to lag-load, or the start menu, or the programs list, etc. I could probably use a reformat and whatnot, but last time I did that the problem came back within a day or two, because I was still running WoW + other shit at the same time.

What I need is a new PC. I can play games on it, and do IM, web, vent, etc on the old one, So it's not bogged down by the game.


But yea, somehow I went from how everything's organized in a manner that I can get to it fast while WoW is running, to bitching about my PC running like ass.

[scottws]

Like WoW much there, W7RE?
