My other two desktops are just the same image, without the apple logo. I also have my TV hooked up to my machine as well

Ben here is My background picture full res.

So far I like Dan's the best - mostly because of the absence of desktop icons (a pet hate of mine - BTW why do people store documents in the desktop folder? Jonathan?? )

I also use a sidebar gadget (Desktop Wallpaper) that changes the desktop picture automatically cycling through my fav pictures.

Mine is updated version of what Jonathan has. I've got icons till bottom right of my desktop.

I'm not sure why I save everything on the desktop, but I've been doing this from 4 - 5 years.

I don't feel the need for a desktop, I use my start menu to organize all of my applications and files using the menu's next to My Music, Documents, Pictures etc etc.

Rock, that is so a style - you can tell by the Start menu - good desktop though! You probably, like most other of your colleagues, have Windows 2003 Server (or whatever its called). That is so awesome - where can I download that style for my XP desktop?

It's Windows XP Professional [SP2] with a special theme, which can be downloaded here. Ahh yes Dan, most of us adhere to Windows 2003, it's one of the most robust OS I've ever seen But so true, it says no to games Hence Windows XP is the best, supports almost everything !
