I should change the background at some point. I also don't have many desktop icons... Most of my programs are on the top bar. In fact, I just added about eight more. Woo!

Ooh... Vista is pretty. I'd consider getting it, but I've heard some things... I'll wait a couple years, maybe they'll release a service pack or some type of bug fixer.

It makes for a simplistic look, I have no desktop icons, only a few programs on my taskbar.
I like having a couple, but it starts to look cluttered after awhile so with this computer I'm just leaving on the default ones and putting my frequently used programs (or not so frequently used, but still interesting enough to leave there) at the top panel.

There's a button on ur keyboard that says print screen. Just push that an open a paint program an go to edit an click paste an it should show you your desktop, but make sure your screen is cleared off so ur desktop can be seen..You prollie know that much though
Ha! I laugh at your puny Print Screen and paste! I just have to press Print Screen and it asks me where to save the picture. Fedora rocks.

Yeah, I had to open it up in GIMP and resize it. GIMP's good, though, it wasn't difficult at all.

I tried having a few on my desktop at one time, lasted about a day, even with renaming to have a streamlined look. The taskbar icons are most helpful with a convenient location.
