Computer Desktop Image

You have an advertisement on your desktop? That sucks...

Paul, your desktop is set up similarly to mine, with the task bar vertically oriented. Everyone makes fun of me for it, but it's so much less annoything seeing all the open windows, isn't it? Yay pseudo efficiency.

I've tried the vertical taskbar thing, but just couldn't get into it... I have mine on the bottom, expanded out to 3 rows.

I'm gonna give this a try. Do you auto-hide your taskbar or not?

BTW, are you coming to the work day this weekend?

I'm vertical as well, but on the left. I hate grouped icons; it's not that uncommon to have 3-4 folders, a couple internet explorer instances going, a couple command prompts, some Exceed stuff running, a couple Powerpoints, a spreadsheet, Outlook, and a couple emails. Going the 3-4 horizontal rows I'd need would take up too much space; with engineering stuff I can never have too much space on the screen. I just need an icon and a letter, and one click to activate the window I want. No clicking on the folder icon, and then picking the folder I want. It's just annoying.

The other nice thing is that with a laptop or my widescreen monitor at home, the side taskbar is a sorta out of the way.

Great minds and all that....

I work for at&t.

I definitely agree with the grouped icon thing, that annoys the carp out of me.

You guys are definitely making me think of trying my taskbar on the side again. I think I'm just too used to having it on the bottom that it messed with me too much. There are times at work when even the 3 rows gets too filled up and it's hard to tell what's what. I usually have several explorer windows open, some emails, excel sheets and several LabVIEW windows (sometimes dozens).

I have the MacOS dock on the left-hand side instead of the bottom as well. With a widescreen monitor, I have more real estate to spare on the left and right than the top and bottom, and it works well. I imagine Windows would be similar.

I'm on the left as well. And to the left of that I have my laptop open in the docking station for keeping Outlook maximized and also for other dual monitor uses. So much easier when looking and comparing several blueprints for the same model, or file organizing and such.

RootDKJ- no, don't hid the taskbar.

Also, most of the stuff under the start menu (my computer, control panel, etc) I set up as menus, rather than windows.

I actually am helping Meredith finish her change over to her new bike frame. Plus I figured with the cost of gas and food and whatnot, the free pass is barely worth it, as fun as it was to do last year.

Also I have to finish the conversion of rusty old manure spreader to wood wagon so I'm ready to haul wood when I fire up my new woodstove for the first time the weekend after this one...

Yeah, I know, you're probably going to get your panties all up in a bunch about this too.

Is it just me, or is that fisherman looking lovingly at the fish...and the fish has a "help me!!!!!" look on its face?

I've had this for quite a while. If you stare at it long enough, you transcend. It makes working with computers a lot easier

He definitely has a creepy look on his face. If I were the fish I'd have the same look on my face.

To that guy, there's a reason that fish's mouth is shaped that way. :-o

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that...
