Ok, it's been a while since I've seen one of these threads and we've had a lot of new people. Lets see what your desktop looks like, any size is fine - just make sure you use the *lvlshot* tag.
And to start us off...

How do you post it? I will give it a shot.

you know all that crap on your desktop consumes memory - therefor degrading system performance
-
crap on my desktop or anyones, xp has a better explorer shell and uses less resources to display desktop items that before
------------------
http://www.themodplace.co.uk
http://www.avengershome.co.uk
-
bull
you listen to that garbage out of M$?
-
If your background is a jpeg, convert it to a bitmap, then you can turn off active desktop which eats up quite a bit of your system's resources...
-
i know what i am doing, and kazan if u compare the load time of icons and **** on win98,me,2000 or NT against the load time of xp, xp is faster
------------------
http://www.themodplace.co.uk
http://www.avengershome.co.uk
-
Kazan, feel free to shut up or stick to the topic - if you want to gripe about system performance using the explorer shell then do it on a separate thread if you really must or not at all.
Edit: you as well T_A, a new topic if you really must but not at all for preference. Keep it on topic guys.

All of the XP icons are available online for the taking. Infact, I replaced most of the Windows 98 (ME is CRAP CRAP CPAP!) icons with XP ones. Tide me over till I get XP on my system. Which I hope is soon.

I have to say the lvlshot tag sux, it doesn't make things load faster, and it makes the screen move choppy.

Thats because its the actual image, except its HTML coding is "a href=x.jpg" "img src=x.jpg width=y height=z"
So really, you should manually make a 300x226 thumbnail or something, because this lvlshot isn't helping out 56kers at all
Since HTML is on, gotta use weird stuff

Really nothing. I was bored with my blue background so I rendered the Sathanas with Brazil. Its got a nice feel to it. It kinda looks like the Sathanas was built using black LEGO blocks.

You can probably get round that by rendering it much larger than you want it and resizing it so the compression makes it look AA...

I think i found where to turn it on, but before i got a decent render out if it, it crasched. Typical!
At least it's free.
