What's your PC desktop look like

[Marclau (Marcel)]

Just wondering if anyone has changed their desktop to reflect our hobbies.

Since I have reignited my Astronomy hobby again after nearly 20 years, I thought I would show off what my desktop looks like.

Hi Marclau & All,

Those desktops are rather neat, tidy and well presented. Not to neglect interesting.

In my military years, I was given a desk sign:

" A clean and tidy desk
is a sign of a sick mind."

Sorry people I could not resist.

Cheers Marty

[Marclau (Marcel)]

Hahahahah thanks Marty............wow, looking at the other desktops, i might have to place stacks more of shortcuts and folders on..........

I don't know how to upload my desktop image, so I'll just post the hubble photo I use.

Molly,

On your keyboard right hand side just above Delete and Insert key there is Print Screen key. When pressed it will copy to memory whatever is on your screen. Open any pics program like Photoshop or even the one that comes with windows (paint). Paste it there and save it wherever you prefer, smaller of course (save as,for web).

cheers

Hit the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard and it will store a copy of whats on your screen in clipboard. Open you favourite image program an paste as new image.

Just shortcuts to programs I use on black background. I still remember times when 16K of memory was a lot and it cost fortune. Today I got 2Gigs but I’m still kind of reluctant to waste it.

Thanks Bob and Ivan,
I was able to save an image in my picture file but it refuses to upload.
I don't know why because the other pic uploaded ok.

Molly right click on your pic and the properties and look at the size of the pic, If its over 200kb it wont upload and you have to go and shrink the pic till it gets under 200kb.
PM me if you get stuck on shrinking it and i,ll explain it.
Cheers Kev.

Did you reduce it to below 200kb for the forum?

EDIT: Kev types faster than I can. LOL

Funny thing is when I took the photo I wasn't happy with it. Changed it from color to greyscale and it changed my outlook on it.
I try and use pictures I have taken for my destop.

Al,

That looks like Jase's outstanding image.
