88186 2002-10-12 05:18:00 Hi Graham

Actually you surprise me with your comment. :O

I guess it is a matter of personal choice, but I have every program and piece of information that I need available at one click of my mouse. IMHO hiding them away on nested menus would delay my access.

How do I get any work done? Well, once the programs I want are opened, I don't see the desktop anyway unless I need something else for a few minutes. There are about 5 items I could cull as they are duplicated on the task bar or not used regularly but why bother ?:| It works well for me.

Oh yes, and I like green, it is very soothing on the eye. B-)

Cheers

88191 2002-10-12 06:28:00 Craig, I don't make my own (although it is possible with freeware - have a look on google).

There was a recent thread on this topic where I gave details of all of the software I use, and how to skin XP.

I will have a look for it and post back.

There is heaps of stuff out there.

88192 2002-10-12 06:36:00 OK the thread is here (pressf1.co.nz)

The links I posted on there are mostly deaed now, so:

Change boot logo (www.littlewhitedog.com)

Deskmod (http://deskmod.com/)

ThemeXP.org (http://www.themexp.org/)

TGTSoft (http://www.tgtsoft.com/)

ThemeXP.com (http://www.xpthemes.com/)

ThemeXP.info (http://www.xptheme.info/)

And there are somany others.

For easy patching I recommend StyleXP for a small fee, or use uxthemepatcher for free.

Logoloader for logons.

reshacker for bootscreens.

88193 2002-10-12 08:51:00 This is interesting, lets see what the most popular components are on peoples desktops.
I see most people have, Acrobat, Ad-aware, AVG and of course just about everyone has a 'start' button.
hmmm what does that say about us?
We all need to 'start' cutting out the 'spyware' by becoming an 'antiviral' 'acrobat'?

the answer is 42

Susan I think you might be right - seems familiar with most of us, and hasn't posted a single helpful message yet :) hmmm... sounds like Robo :D
