That man in a laundry basket...

Desktop meme from... er... almost all of the others ^_^;;;

Why you choose the background color/image you did
Tis one of my crappy selfmade wallpaper thingies. I hate those effect-loaded kinds of background where you can't see any icons. So I usually take a picture I like, put it on the right where it doesn't disturb my icons, put some writing around it and that's it. This time, it was a HQ 300dpi .jpg of Knacki Deuser. Why? Because I love him ^o^ And yes, he *is* sitting in a laundry basket. His show is called Nightwash after all...

Why your toolbar is where it is
Because it's always been there and I've never thought of utting it somewhere else.

Why the choices on your toolbar are present?
I placed the program shortcuts down there cuz it looks best and is sorta comfortable. They are as follows:

Upper row, left to right:

Internet Explorer

Mozilla

Word

Excel

MS Paint

Solitaire

TV Genial

VirtualDub

MP3Lyrix

WinAmp

Irfan View

WebSpider

Notepad

Lower row, left to right:

GetRight

PowerDVD

Paint Shop Pro

Trillian

Nero

WS FTP Pro

MusicMatch Jukebox

GoldWave

Semagic

Windows Media Player

Bittorrent++

KaZaA

mIRC

The things I have open are:

WinAmp playing "Boy" by The Alfee from the anime Figure 17 Tsubasa & Hikaru, which is one of my favourite songs ATM. It's currently available for download on my collective page ^^

My folder of anime mp3s which is currently 22 GB in size °_°

Solitaire, which I love to play when listening to music.

What the desktop icons are
Some Windows defaults like Netzwerkumgebung, Papierkorb, Arbeitsplatz (too lazy to look up the English equivalents) and shortcuts to all of my drives (floppy, DVD drive, CD burner, five HDDs/partitions). Also, a link to my personal folder and the temporary internet files.

They're not exact tranlations, but what's on English Windows computers are

Netzwerkumgebung - "Network Neighborhood"
Papierkorb - "Recycle Bin"
Arbeitsplatz - "My Computer"

*lol* You're really useful ^_^
Bah, I want an English version of Windows -_-

I've got some old Win98 CDs if you want them.

Thanks for the offer but Win 98 *is* a bit outdated.
Maybe I'll just have to search harder. I usually know where such stuff can be found...
Thanks again ;)
