Is the calendar part of windows blinds? Does it link to something evil like outlook? Can it link to anything else?

I'd be lost without my little 'to do list'

I absolutely LOATHE the Start menu I'd rather have 50 desktop icons than having to use the Start menu. Icons are much faster.

My Dad uses that Office launcher bar. Well, he did until I deleted off his computer.

I quite like the Start menu, although I don't have to use it very often- most things I need can be launched with a key combo.
Lappy desktop:

I arrange my start menu items into categories based on what they do, like System Tools, Connectivity, etc. Then I change my mind about the category names and which applications should go where and sometimes apps could go under multiple categories and then I get bored and leave the job half done. Consequently I sometimes have to navigate my apps folder to find the .exe file rather than try to fathom my own categorisation system.

Haha, sounds like how a Council operates only on a smaller scale. I tend to leave the start menu as it is, with the occasional alphabetical sort when I've installed new stuff. The things I use most frequently I have on the quick launch bar, same as WEY (and even the same skin), and I keep my desktop pretty much clear. I'll post a piccy when I get home. My current background isn't as disturbing as my last one!

There are a few things on my desktop at the mo, for instance a folder with all photos etc that I have to do with the house I'm buying. This is so that my missus can find them easily, as she can get a bit lost when trying to navigate around my PC!

She is perfectly PC literate, but unless she saved it somewhere herself then she is hopeless at finding it. Possibly a good thing for some of my files!

It's a sexy little program called Rainlendar.

I have no idea if it links to outlook or not, you just click on the days to add events. It helps me out massively!

Fanceh! Why didn't they ever do more of these?

I gave it a go and it's nice, but the orange start button keeps catching my eye, and I keep thinking I've got an alert or something.

Four important things in quicklaunch.
Objectdock at the top with games on left, apps on right.
Downloaded junk on the desktop.

Here we go:

I still need to get my head around the dual desktop thing (any hints welcome) and Xfire permanently sits there so I figured I'd include it. Might get myself a new wallpaper actually, it's about time for a change.

I hate the start menu, it's too fiddly. I have my most common apps on the quicklaunch bar (plus a couple that I've never noticed having there until now), then everything else in three stacks: Windows junk that I can't be arsed getting rid of, games I'm playing, other apps. I've a shortcut to TS on the other monitor so I don't have to alt-tab out in game to get in, and a couple of text files for handy game stuff (eg. CoH character structures). Everything else goes in the start menu.

Oh, and as you can see I've tried to make it look like Windows 98, which I'd tried to make look like Windows 95.

Something completely different from you guys.

For non mac users wondering whats going on: You can see the edges of the applications I have open; if I hover to one of the corners, they come back on the screen. I am currently hovering my mouse over the dock, otherwise that would disappear.
