No problem; i find it very useful.
Here's the stock desktop on an old P3 450MHz with 288MB Ram i regurgitated and installed Puppy Linux 4.20 on (it has XP on also). And no i cannot for the life of me figure out why in hell it shows 288MB, there's 3 sticks of what i thought were 128MB sticks. Ah well, it works.

More experimenting, more fruitful this time around. The P3 450 (with Puppy 4.20) runs ok but a tad sluggish (and damn noisy, two whining hard drives always offends; the ancient CD-Rom drive isn't too loud though). Will keep this machine 'as is', but switched off as an emergency spare surfing machine.
Had a Compaq SFF machine sitting gathering dust, a P4 2.40 with 512MB memory, faulty onboard NIC so uses a PCI NIC, worst of all it has a dodge IDE controller or two hence why it's just been mothballed. Disconnected the hard drive (all my spare old hard drives whine so won't miss that racket), left a dvd burner connected and have been running Puppy Linux 4.20 from a USB stick and also from the live cd (maybe the IDE controllers are ok after all, don't know). Booting from USB stick is very useful,i like the ability to save your session to the USB stick too.

What the... How did you guess that? Or didn't you? :P
I don't know if it means that, but it's more than logical - they're track packs for WipEout Pure (PSP).

I used one for RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 many years ago.
I'm seeing a lot of awesome games on that desktop including one I wanted to try but forgot about. I'll get right on it ;-)

You'll notice it's pretty devoid of PC games :P
Only got an 8400GS in this computer and the few older / less graphically intensive games i have on it i just keep in the start menu... Let's see... Rollercoaster Tycoon, Transport Tycoon, Battlefield 2, Age of Empires II and III, Need for Speed Underground 1 and 2, TOCA Race Driver 3, Imperial Glory, Defcon :)
EDIT: Hold on, why do only half of those have links? :( They're all great games!

My desktop used to look almost that bad at one point. My buddy in minnesota, asked me how I sifted through all of it LOL! Told him I have a photographic memory. Now I like to see my wallpaper though. So I generally keep it pretty tidy. Sometimes the desktop is simply quicker and in my face for transfers or other things. Heck, what are desktops for ehh LOL! My ACTUAL desktop is far worse in comparison.

To delete, or not to delete. THAT is the question!

Hahaha so true. My virtual desktops are all nice, clean and tidy while the real life one is a complete mess and usually builds up a good layer of dust before I get around to cleaning it.
Shokz, you have the second messiest desktop I've seen. If you can believe it one of my friends had two to three times the number of icons on his at one point. I don't have a clue how anyone navigates through stuff like that lol.

Genius :) I hate it doing that, tell MS to mind it's own business :p
I do honestly love it the way it is; I always used to put stuff in their right folders etc but it's just quicker to get things straight off the desktop :) Originally all those PSP games were supposed to be there only temporarily because I'd taken them off an old laptop I was going to wipe, but they ended up never getting moved ^.^

This is currently my BG. Normally I have both the dock at the top of my screen and the taskbar set to auto hide, but you can see them here. As you can tell I like to keep things extremely tidy lol. I get to my many other programs through the search bar.

Here is how it normally looks. :P
