What's in a desktop...
 
So, what's on your desktop?

I got the following:

Recycle Bin
My Computer
31/2 Floppy (A)
CD Drive
MS-DOS (C)
System (D)
Storage (E)
Network Storage (H)
Smart Notebook
JBuider4
Turbo C++
Microsoft Visio
SQL Plus
SQL Plus Web

Silvy 01-07-2004 08:48 AM

Should this be here or in nonsense :)
It's a funny thread subject...

Let's see... I got
"silvy's home"
"trash"
"c"
"d"
"e"
"start here"
and a picture of a cloud....

Lasereth 01-07-2004 09:43 AM

Isn't there a "Post Your Desktop" thread on TFP somewhere? If so, that could take place of this one. If not,

My Computer
My Network Places
Recycle Bin
Internet Explorer
Desktop Items (folder for often-used stuff)

I also have 0 programs on my Start/Programs listing. I have anything that I use on quicklaunch...I can't stand having programs on the Start Menu or on the Desktop!

Fallon 01-07-2004 09:53 AM

Pfft, my quick launch is loaded with programs. I've got all my network monitoring/intrusion detection programs there, along with all my programming things. My desktop...it's full of crap. I don't use that as much as the quick launch or the run menu, start menu takes to long

Ashton 01-07-2004 10:09 AM

The recycle bin....... and a picture of Bessie Bardot stretched out naked across the roof of a white limo,

Desktop icons are teh suck.....

sailor 01-07-2004 11:06 AM

A lot. More than I would like. But, I dont like filling up my quick launch with more than four programs, and I dont like the start menu, so I dont have that much of a choice...

SiphonX 01-07-2004 11:11 AM

Recycle Bin and My Computer in the lower right. I like a nice and plain desktop

Haven't seen that post, then again, it sounds like take a screeshot of your desk and post it here....

glytch 01-07-2004 11:27 AM

Absolutely nothing, I only use it for temporary storage and I think the recycle bin is ugly. Does that make me strange?

Yeah, that's the exact thread I'm looking for. If people post pictures of their desktops, then we'll know what it has on it! I can't remember if this version of TFP has the thread yet or not. I don't wanna dig back a hundred pages either. :(

lots of stuff in the quicklaunch too haha.

ratbastid 01-07-2004 01:48 PM

Not a single thing. I use Gnome, and I killed Nautilus dead. My desktop no longer supports icons on it, which is just the way I like it.

Now, my Gnome panels are jam-packed. But those icons are tiny and don't get in my way much.

My Computer
Recycling Bin
Couple of desktop items

I like to keep my desktop clean. Like to look at the background sometimes and don't like stuff blocking my view.

bgivnin 01-07-2004 10:59 PM

I like to keep mine bare too. I've got 7 icons:

My Computer
My Network Places
Recycle Bin
My Documents
VPN.lnk
a text file
my Shared network folder

My Quick Launch bar, however, has all my games and programs on it. I think, after I deleted the 2 games of my HD I had recently, I'm at 18. :)

darkure 01-08-2004 04:43 AM

I mainly use it for temporary storage. But there is
nothing being stored right now. Other than that here is
what is there:

My Computer
Network Neighborhood
Recycle Bin

There are about 6 programs in my quicklaunch bar too.

Destrox 01-08-2004 04:44 AM

Who needs a desktop when you have quicklaunch.

Only time I ever see the desktop is when i reboot.

Sounds like mine, only i ditched all icons, i have 3 in the panel, none on the desktop. I use 'run' instead, or a terminal.
It takes less effort to type in the name of the app, than move through menu's with the mouse. :)
As you can see here

flamingpeach 01-08-2004 08:14 AM

Recycle Bin (hidden)

Snakebyt 01-08-2004 05:27 PM

oberon 01-08-2004 06:02 PM
