I could post mine but it might be considered X rated and not appropiate.
Might have to tone down the wallpaper.

Use Stardock "Fences" myself to group icons.
You double click on the screen and all your icons can vanish at appropriate moments too.

Mine at times.

It's on 1024 x 768 resolution cuz I have the TV acting as a clone.

I is running Crystal XP, modified version with loads of bloated stuff shaved off for better performance. Also it installs with loads of islamic reading material :pac:

Use this one mostly. The Dalek and Tardis are Yahoo widgets that move around and say "exterminate" and make the Tardis sound. Gives me my 11 year old something to play with when bored.

The K-9 picture at the top changes every 5 minutes through a Yahoo widget.

I set the taskbar to auto hide and pin programs to the start menu or quick launch bar if I use them a lot. Other programs I organise into categories in the start menu, like security, internet etc. to save space. Hate clutter!

Take the image you want to use and split it in Photoshop/similar into two images then apply them seperately. Easy:)

I have great tool called "Displayfusion Pro".
Great tool. A tiny little app that sits in the background and is an icon (upon reboot) that resides near your clock.
See here: http://www.binaryfortress.com/displayfusion/

Advanced Multi-Monitor Taskbar support

Use a different desktop wallpaper image on each monitor

Use a desktop wallpaper image that spans all monitors

Randomly change your desktop wallpaper using local images or images from Flickr

Drag or middle-click the taskbar of maximized windows to move them to other screens

Auto-snap windows to the edge of your monitor

Integrated Flickr.com image search & download

Integrated Vladstudio.com image search & download

Window TitleBar Buttons to move/size/control windows

Manage application windows with fully customizable hotkeys:
Move windows to the next monitor

Move windows to the next monitor and maximize them

Move windows to the centre, top, bottom, left or right side of the monitor

Size windows to a configured size or percent of the work area

Maximize windows so that they span all monitors

Customize your own hotkeys to do anything you can imagine

Using the same tool...

For those with dual screens, here are some good free sites to start ye off:

With "Displayfusion Pro" (link above) it makes applying them dead easy.

Ultramon is a program any running windows with dual screens should have. Can't remember all it's features but one I remember the most was it would extend the taskbar across two screens. It would also add new buttons (near mimimise maximize etc) to move window to other monitor and extend window over the two monitors.

Cheers for that app. Check it out but on mine on one pc (Win7 of a dual boot) it ran into problems.
Noticed it said "beta" too so I guess they are still working on the kinks.
will keep an eye on it though. Could be a good alternative in the future.

I'll stick with the "Displayfusion" tool (info and links back a few posts) for the time being. Dead easy to use and serves me well.

You cannot control the replies ones gets in a thread as much as you would like to.

"Post your Desktop" threads (you have started 3 so far in such a short while!!!) will inevitability bring some questions from others - this you don't seem to like so you go off and start another thread - then order us like a mod to use your next latests one!!!

Who the hell do you think you are? :mad:

Then you cross post out of sheer laziness!
http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055753980

Other folk here are trying to be extremely helpful. All you are doing here in this computer section is starting same threads and barking orders 119 posts in.
I for one am getting sick of it. Jeasus, we can't even reply to topics raised now for fear of being ordered/lectured!!! :mad:

As been pointed out more than once now, this thread contains information, links, help that might be useful - but you want the whole thing deleted!
If help is offered or a matter raised, its only because folk want to learn or solve a problem. Its going to happen in every thread you start and not just stay absolutely just desktop screens.
People WILL post questions. The rest of us are here to help.
You can't seem to accept that situation, appear to get into a strop and immediately run off and start-up another thread on the same subject (yet again!) to try and attempt just to avoid this.
Jeasus!!!

I apologise mods for getting angry but this guy is getting ridiculous!

Hmmmm.....

Firstly, Smau5, you've a few things to learn. Repeatedly posting the same thread is a nono, as is cross posting in multiple forums as is back seat moderation. There's a newbie FAQ forum here and I'd suggest you read it.

Biggins: I understand that you were frustrated but it's probably best just to report the post and leave it at that. If you're REALLY cranky you can report it twice and I'll pick up what yer puttin' down.
