Mag, how do you get rid of the Win 7 "administrator shield" on the icons (like on mine, Rise of Flight has one). The weird thing is it does not show on my kids' accounts, where they are not administrators, obviously.

They were made by rOEN911. He apparently made a couple of really nice wallpapers using ROF and photoshop. I found them on the Rise Of flight website in this thread. http://riseofflight.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=15975&start=90There are lots other, I had a hard time picking which ones I wanted.

Yep, I know. I actually don't like any wallpaper. Rather change the color of the desktop.

Yep, I know. I actually don't like any wallpaper. Rather change the color of the desktop. I've always used pure black as well guod I've been using this one I took in ArmA2 for a few months now though ...  It's still pretty black and simple and leaves my icon space (top left) clear.

Guilty! Actually, icons on top or bottom or I use a different wallpaper if it doesn't look right. Hate icons on the left. Taskbar is my favorite place for my most used shortcuts though.

I keep all of my desktop shortcuts in a folder located in "My Documents", and I link 'em via RocketDock and the Start Menu, both of which are configured to Auto Hide. It keeps my desktop nice and clean...

Doug... BORING! You host monthly calender wallpaper, but don't bother using them. lol
Yep, I know. I actually don't like any wallpaper. Rather change the color of the desktop. I've always used pure black as well guod I've been using this one I took in ArmA2 for a few months now though ... It's still pretty black and simple and leaves my icon space (top left) clear. That looks great DD. I love the images in wallpaper but for me, it is always a distraction when doing site or graphic work. I'm a minimalist at heart.

It keeps my desktop nice and clean... I'm trying this out (Rocket Dock) and I love it! Runs well and very few resources. Much better than a dock I used sometime in the past. Even on the netbook it's super fast. Thanks for the point on that, now I get to have a clear screen.

thats nallerina...it better be your daughter! lol Well, with the thoughts I sometimes entertain when I see her, it had better NOT be my daughter! That is Nina Ananiashvili from Georgia (the country). She basically looks like that in her 40's. I've had the hots for her for quite some time and it overrode all other considerations when choosing a desktop for my home and work PC. She's on my phone and Ipod, too. I'm not stalking her . . . I cant' afford the airfare.
