Let's see your desktop

OK it's an old favourite but let's see your desktop. Here's mine, it's a picture of a Kentish Plover I took on our local coastline.

Tsk tsk tsk.....you're so untidy, Uncle! :)

How about this uncluttered desktop.....:)

BTW - don't know how you attach the full-sze pic like Adrian's one above.....I guess a thumbnail will have to do. If anyone can tell me that'd be cool!

Cheers

I use a facility of IrfanView, which is a free programme available for downloading.

For Shane, you have to host your pictures at photobucket.com. When you have uploaded it to Photobucket, you then get the hyperlink for the picture, which is provided by then and post it in between this code
[img]hyperlink eg http://photobucket/filename etc[/img]
It's quite easy once you get the hang of it. Unfortunately JJ has got the hang of it and inundates us with a large orange watch.

You gotta look real close and squint. By now, I pretty much know where all my usual icons are located so it's not that difficult.

Whew, much better although a bit fuzzy. Might want to resize it to 150 x 150. The larger pic of this same image is very clear.
