Desktops, again – image 30

And Yes I do use every thing seen on my desk top that is why it is all there for quicker retrival of files and any repaint projects are kept there as well as the 15 to 20 games I have all have to have short cuts on the desktop and it will only get more cluttered as I have 80 gigs of hardrive space. and since Train sim isnt all that I work with there are alot of other files there Links to folders I use every day and each of my drives have an icon there so I can access them right away as Microsoft hides alot of everything in folders that dont need to be there so I short cut them on to the desktopDon Pottorff

Love seeing all the different desktops.Here is mine from my work computer. I use Kraxon Desktop Changer (a freeware program) to switch pictures on a regular basis, about every 10 minutes.I'm running WinXP-Home, and have changed all my sounds to train related ones as well as the main icons to RR themed icons.Jeff

Nice looking dog!I seem to switch a lot between these two, so I'll post them both.Here's my favorite non-prototypical train to run on the Cambrian Coast, waiting for departure from that one station I can't spell:
