If you really wanted to have a good time, you could screen-shot everything as is and make that the desktop, then put all the real shortcuts into a folder on the desktop anywhere and watch the fun ensue
Eta: for extra entertainment, don’t forget to hide the Taskbar
The shortcut was at the tip of the penis
I understood that reference.
I’d nearly forgotten all about Vista.
This looks like windows 7
The start button whose circle is larger than the start menu gives it away that it’s probably Windows Vista
You could shrink it in 7 to do that to if I recall
You use desktop icons?
While I love the background, the cluttered mass of icons makes my eye twitch. A modicum of organization, please.
Same. I would go insane with a desktop like that.
The icons made your eyes twitch, but the Vista didn’t?
You’re sure it’s not 7? I loved the glass that 7 had.
The task bar on 7 Looked Way better
The lesser of problems, I’d wager. Managed to bypass Vista… and 8. shudders
Lol, dude should just slip in some skinned-up Linux Mint. Dad’s mind would be blown because OMG it’s so fast now!

Funny, because this looks a lot like how Longhorn did/was supposed to. Very pretty for its time.
Longhorn broke my heart, and I haven’t used Windows since (except to play Fallout)
Agreed, I am also a Longhorn enthusiast
Beta testing Longhorn, and it’s failure, just killed my last ounce of faith in MS. I went and bought a Mac after that, lol.
TBH, being into Macs are what got me into UNIX and Linux, though, so that’s something.
The only perfect background is to disable all icons and keep it black
I see a background
And I want it painted black
No icons anymore
I want my desktop black
Okay, Patrick Bateman
seriously. you guys are the same freaks that hide all their wires on your workstation for those lame pictures you like posting
Yeah, imagine having a not-cluttered-as-fuck workstation that looks nice?
Fucking savages don’t organize their cables.
I run a Windows operating system on an m.2 SSD on the latest generation AMD CPU and GeForce graphics card. My name is Patrick Bateman. I’m 27 years old. I believe in taking care of my operating system and a balanced power profile and rigorous maintenance routine. In the morning if my game is a little laggy I’ll put on a memory optimisation program while running benchmarks. I can score 1000 now. After I remove unused programs I use a file clearing tool such as CCleaner. On the desktop I audit all my shortcuts , remove any I haven’t opened for a while and sort the rest into folders. Then I apply any driver or software updates before powering off my PC which I leave off for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use a keyboard cleaning wipe with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your fingers out and makes you type slower. Then screen cleaning, then wiping down my desk mat followed by a final system boot.
I’ve used and enjoyed that kind of setup a while back, but my new favourite is to have something that rotates different backgrounds. macOS has their dynamic wallpapers which you can set to cycle through different ones on a regular basis, which I really like. I still don’t like having any icons, though.
On Android, I use Muzei to get a different artwork as my background every day. It’s also very nice.
Yeah what is this 2006?
Hah, as if you’d ever see the icons behind the millions of things I have running
Woop
Firefox is a much easier icon to find.
firefox, and get an adblocker on it
It looks like he has chrome pinned to his task bar in the bottom left.
You cannot make enough shortcuts for the elderly.
There is also a second desktop icon in the upper left, in the 4th column.
Didn’t think about icons being on a grid, eh? Whoever made this had to turn it off to place the Chrome icon there. Amateur move
Never use your desktop to store shortcuts, unless they are very temporary, and then clear up often.
You have a taskbar and start menu to organise and find everything you need, you can even do startup applications.
My dude what do you think a desktop is for?
Keeping what you’re working on available.
It’s not a fileing system
Wallpapers, obviously. And cool widgets.
That’s pretty funny! Thanks for making me smile.
Legit makes my day to make someone smile :)
That’s awesome - nice work!
Right click desktop, create new, folder: Junk
Drag drop everything but that chrome icon into Junk.
Most of the time my desktop is covered, so I use folders on the toolbar
What in the world
Instead of fixing the symptom, maybe you could address the underlying problem of all that clutter on the desktop. ….or pin it somewhere it won’t be encroached by new files
All of those files look very important and need to stay where they are…
It is pinned to the taskbar
Also the first icon in column 4
It’s pinned to the taskbar. If my own father is anything to go by, trying to clean up their desktop is a futile and temporary effort.
There are at least twice as many icons s on his desktop as on mine!
