Besides, you have to reboot more often if you open and close your programs all of the time.  

Hmm? Judging by the appearance of your taskbar, you are NOT using Win98...

Kind of like Yoni's Misc folder, but better.

I didn't realize the layout of my HD is that popular

I prefer all my icons on the left too, I hate auto-aligning because they always get messed up.

I don't put program shortcuts in my taskbar, I hate how it looks, I also don't keep many items open, and I try to minimize the number of active programs are in the bottom right. I prefer an organized taskbar, and readily accessible desktop.

I use no wallpaper, no desktop icons, no screen saver. I can't stand desktop icons. That's the one thing that annoys me when I'm fixing someones computer and they have like 50 icons on the desktop.

I use a blank screensaver, whats the point of having a picture on it when no ones there to see it?

I use no screen saver and turn on hte monitor off function.

Do you also lack a personality?

No I just don't need a picture on a screen that I only look at to describe my personality. And I have a low end computer so I try to save my resources.

I have no wallpaper or screensaver, and I love the default windows theme (as of win2k). I'm on the computer quite a bit, so I like it to look clean and be easy on the eyes.

I think I'm the only person that likes the crayola XP theme. :\

I go back and forth between blue and grey, wish there was a black one. I like the new windows themes, just a tad too colourful.

I don't like how it displays the active title bar.  Seems to childish to me.  IMO, it's more professional with the standard look.  Also, if you use more than two task bar layers (I have 3) it displays the status square-section badly.  It really annoys me.  I also just don't like the buttons.  

But Windows 2000 displays it sooooo much better than XP/2003 for the standard look (default/only-one in Windows 2000).  In XP/2003 the menu transitions (especially in the start menu) are somewhat choppy...

An empty desktop is a good desktop.  I never see mine, there's always some fullscreen window blocking it.  I think there might be one or two icons on it, though...

Show us your desktop!

I seen his workspace a couple years ago (had about 40 visible programs going). I think Skywing's desktop would be pretty boring (like mine).

Apparantly I'm not the only one ...

Except you appear to launch several programs at once "incase you'll need them in the future."  That's an interesting way of doing things, but that's what shortcuts are for.

However, I doubt Skywing was using all 40 programs at the same time.  He probably keeps a lot of them open to go back to after a few hours maybe?

I don't know...  I usually close programs when I'm finished with them, instead of wondering if I'll need them again in a couple hours.  He didn't have the types of things you have open though (component services, computer management, policy editor, performance viewer, services, telnet server administration, ...?).  Again, there ARE shortcuts.

I'm curious as to why you have Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, and QuickTime installed.  I just use Windows Media Player.  And you also have Internet Explorer and FireFox...

I like how you have one of everything opened though.  I think you're trying to take the viewer's attention away from the bad quality wallpaper by having lots of random icons on the task bar.
