Just got my new P4, 1.8ghz,64mb ge-force 2,64mb hhd.
and an all new desktop.[img]http://img.ranchoweb.com/images/jojimbo/gcs0001.jpg[/img]

Why do people put a million shortcuts on their desktops??

Umm to open programs they use a lot? Theres a novel concept. eek:

Because I have two million things in my progams menu.

The whole point of desktops is it makes it easier for you to find things through shortcuts. The desktop is esentially made for shortcuts.

It looks like shit with all those shortcuts. Are you telling me you use ALL
those progs in a single sitdown with the comp?? Why not customize your "Start Menu"?
I place all my shortcuts in seperate custom folders on the start menu for fast
and easy access. The progs i constantly use go to my task bar. I only
have 6 progs on my taskbar.
Another thing......you think with all that desktop clutter you're losing
system resources? I think so......and the comp boots slower with all
that shit.

Why would you choose the way it looks over accesability. I don't really care how it looks, I care how fast and easy it is for the 3 people that use this computer. Shortcuts maximize the efficiency of the programs you have.

Of course not. But I do use them all at one point or another.

Whats the difference between this and the desktop? I don't think it really matters. I ahve 5 programs on my taskbar. So what?

Uhh...no. Regardless or whether there is a shortcut or not, the program is still installed on the computer. Boot up time is no problem for me. I still use Win98 which uses a lot less resources than XP so I think i'm doing ok.

i odn tknow if geocities works but here u go. i usually have a new backround everyday. o btw i run my comp on 1600 by 1024
