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?
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.
Hah, as if you’d ever see the icons behind the millions of things I have running
Yeah what is this 2006?
Bonus point if you replace Chrome with Mozilla!
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.
You can, but a desktop composed of entirely shortcuts to chrome I suspect wouldn’t be enough.
I’d nearly forgotten all about Vista.
Needs this to be in the middle.
Right click desktop, create new, folder: Junk
Drag drop everything but that chrome icon into Junk.
Cool picture. But Chrome? Why?
This meme is old as fuck, he has GTA SA and windows 7
GTA SA is dope even today :D
I remember that being the one where you can headshot someone and their head explodes with a spurt of blood and their arms reach up and flail around briefly before they die… Wonder why they didn’t keep that around with the later sequels? Oh and finding the double ended purple dildo in the police station…
I know, finished the story again a few days ago
Its been a long time since I finished the story, I mostly played multiplayer
Not all the pointing people are old memes.
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
Can you share the background?
Here - you should be able to download the full res by clicking “Download the original image”
Thank you! I don’t know what I’ll put in the middle yet, that’s such a big decision
Godspeed.
Most of the time my desktop is covered, so I use folders on the toolbar
What in the world
That’s awesome - nice work!
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
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.
All of those files look very important and need to stay where they are…
Woop
You use desktop icons?
