Lol, Yeah I took a screen shot and that is just how it uploaded. I am sure there would be a way to make it larger on my part.

Yeah, don't attach images. Upload them to somewhere like Photobucket or ImageShack instead and use the

I belive he was commenting on how many icons there are, not how its WXP.
Correct, it looks like my grandmothers old computer because she kept everything stored on the desktop, such as program shortcuts she never used, download, files, etc.

Everything you see I DO USE: desktop icons and system tray icons...
I did not put them there for no reason lol. :D

I know that today NOBODY except "me" would have SO many things scattered all the way around,but this is just my style lol.
Besides...it's important what you do with it,not how your desktop looks like lol.Nobody cares about that. :rolleyes:

Oh yea one more thing lol...It would be so damn awesome if I could make things look like they did in Windows 95.Too bad XP does not offer that SUPER OLD CLASSIC theme lol.I know ways of how I can make it look like Windows 95,but it would just take me EXTREME LONG TIME since I would need to change images inside of the system files and that requires a lot of decompiling and modifications and I am REALLY not in a mood for that so I will leave the classic look the way it is right now lol! :p

I know you're never going to upgrade, but Windows 7 does offer a classic theme and you can set it to 'never combine' taskbar icons (I believe) so that it looks a lot more like XP's and Vista's classic theme.

Why do you use Windows Media Player? Isn't that version 7 or something? Windows Messenger? That thing has been abandoned for years, and why do you need that and Microsoft Messenger when they are basically the same thing? You really need a shortcut to task manager? Is CTRL+ALT+DEL too hard? lol. Why do you need a Java control panel shortcut? What do you change on that?

It seems like you are just trying to put as many icons as you can on your desktop to make it look like you do a lot.

Here are all the programs I use on my computer:



I absolutely cannot STAND people who clutter their desktop with useless icons. But I understand alot of older people do it because they do not know how to navigate through windows. But in most cases, its faster to learn how to navigate through windows than to search around on your desktop looking for an icon.

Why would you want your theme to look like the worst operating system in history? Windows 95 was like riding on a rollercoaster blind.

I actually had 3 more icons on there a second ago haha. But before I took the screenshot I looked and said "oh wow, I havent clicked on that in years" and decided to finally get rid of them haha.

I usually dont put shortcuts to anything on my desktop at all. Games I can usually go through steam, and photoshop is really all I use anymore besides firefox.

Looks like version 9 to me since that's what XP SP1 and later came with. Should really update it to version 11 though which is the latest that XP works with. ;)
