For funsies, post a screenshot of your Desktop (you know, unless you use your credit card number to label one of your files).
Let's see all yer weird backgrounds and programs and whatnot.

I'll go first!

But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

My monitor is pretty big... It's hard for me to find pictures to use. I finally found a bassoon one to use!

The universe is a cold, uncaring void. The key to happiness isn't a search for meaning, it's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually you'll be dead!

I figured you'd have a picture of your baby-head trophies.

No. They're stuck on the wall for all to see.

I don't like desk top short cuts.
I have three clocks for different time zones but they are only visible when mouse overed.
Transparent windows look crappy, usually.
The window colour should be compatible with the wallpaper.
The wallpaper is a cropped version of a big very high res pic.
I don't allow the new default Windows 7 quick launch behaviour.
Start menu must be kept in order.
Another menu over near the notification area is useful.

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,R:\  A short cut like that will get you an explorer window opening in this case at R:\
I shun the convoluted user folders Windows creates, I'll curtail my curmudgeonliness for now.

Press "PrntScrn" if you're on a PC.

Open a handy image program such as Paint or Photoshop.

Press "Ctrl + V"

Voila!

I must not be on a PC, I don't have anything that say print screen in any variation.

If you're not on a Mac, then you're on a PC.  Check the upper right hand of your keyboard to start with.

If you're on a mac its shift+cmd+3 (or shift+cmd+4 if you want to take a screenshot of a selected area) and the image will appear on the desktop.
