Unless this can be quickly justified, it's being moved somewhere... somewhere where I don't know where that is just yet...

There's been about a dozen of these threads in the Comp/Tech sections, they'd hardly like it if another one appeared there!

Sod it, here's mine. I use dual monitors with different display resolutions if you're wondering why it looks funny. I can't stand having anything in the background. My desktop in work is exactly identical to this one too.

Does it count if we post photographs of our desktops?

Pretty pointless tbh...windows classic interface with a plain black background. I like my OS streamlined.

Right... if you have a photo as your wallpaper, preferably one that you took yourself, post it if you wish. Or if you want to take a photo of post on your desktop, fire away. Personally I'd be hoping for a quick thread death so feel free not to reply...

Fine, let it not be sed that I cant join in

Ruu, its your turn

P.S.: All you people with loads of files and crap on your desktop. Dont you know that anything that is on your desktop sits in your RAM??? you should be all more organised and place the files in your "My Documents" folder (one of the few good ideas Microsoft has actually had) and create links to that which you need the most.

... OK Rant over, back to spammage

Hmmm... This might be a stoopid question, but I'm gonna ask anyhoo...

Am I missing something? How do I embed a pic in a post, rather than it being included as an attachment?

Muchas gracias

You would enter the code [NOPARSE][/NOPARSE] or clicking the icon (yellow and grey mountains) will give the same results.
