Metropol

in fact, i hate a cluttered desktop so much, i've disabled it's use using the group policy editor.

i store my downloads in my temp folder in my user profile (unless i want to keep them, in which case they go in 'my downloads' in the 'my documents' folder. i've changed the places bar on the open/save dialog using tweak ui so i've always got a quick shortcut to it.

Seriously, it's a great place to store downloads, etc.

I tidied my desktop by removing loads of the downloads (the screen was almost full of mpg's and wmv's and exe's), and I changed the wallpaper from just plain black to a clever blue swishy thing I did with the digital camera a while ago!

I'm hardly going to post a pic of a messy desktop am I?

(Hence why I haven't taken a photo of my computer area yet - waaaayy too messy what with the empty cans of beer, cables, cd's etc etc.)

My desktop has two columns of icons (most of which are there for show like Excel and Access) and then a third column of "recently downloaded, not sorted" and a bunch on the right hand side of "i need to do now" things which get done because they clutter things up.

That's a more than incredible background, James. I'd quite happily flaunt it if I had such a picture. But because it's got me in it or someone slightly more amazing I don't know

Can you put up the Parky picture, Row? For old time's sake!

I just sent James a PM about his picture, and was tempted to mention the Parky pic, but thought I'd be a good boy. But I'm more than flattered you remembered that, Dan.

That may *look* like David Attenborough, but it is in fact our very own Sir Nick Harvey, but without his beard and specs!

I would willingly buy a second monitor and have Rod & Parky on one and James and David on t'other

Good idea..

Well here is my desktop, my own screencap from 24...

Hmm ... you wouldn't mind sending me some of those, would you?
