OK, it's been a LONG time since we did this last.
Time to show your desktops.
Take a screendump and post it to your webspace and link to them here.
We don't just want to see the wallpaper though. Half the interest here is to see how you organise your space, what stuff you have running in systray, what icons you've got etc etc.
Do not insert the images in this thread unless they are smaller than 8Kb. Otherwise all us Dial-Up users will never see the page load.
So I'm going to start off with my current W98se desktop, I'll post the W2000 one later.

Click on the thubmnail for the 640x480 jpg.
(The thumbnail is 6Kb, the jpg is 74Kb)
That's me in the #42 @195Mph beating the Intimidator :( into 7th & Jr into 8th (I was 6th) after 50 laps around Daytona in Nascar Heat.
**edit**
Here's the Windows2000desktop (http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~smurfy/desktopW2k.jpg)

Ok here's mine. I finally got my FTP stuff working semi correctly...
This picture is from a program I have, but looks almost Identical to my New Full blooded Siberian Husky 9 Week old Pup. The main difference is that My pup has Blue eyes...

OUCH - Dodge, that there is a 1.4MB BITMAP there buddy. Haven't you ever heard of jpg compression!
Thankfully I opened it from work not my dial-up at home!
And where's your actual WINDOWS desktop, shheeeessshhhh! Can't ya read instructions!
Oh, cute dog. :)

Smurfy, thats something I can't quite figure out. I can't seem to turn it to jpg.. I'm using the paint program that comes with XP and it only has bmp option in it for some reason..
I'll try to get that changed. Any Ideas?
As for my desktop, do you mean my Icons and taskbar? I keep the taskbar hidden, and the Icons are hidden using Launchmate.. I'll make another shot in a bit. I'll try to get it in jpg instead of bmp and I'll have launchmate showing for ya...lol
