While I love the background, the cluttered mass of icons makes my eye twitch. A modicum of organization, please.
The only perfect background is to disable all icons and keep it black
Okay, Patrick Bateman
I run a Windows operating system on an m.2 SSD on the latest generation AMD CPU and GeForce graphics card. My name is Patrick Bateman. I’m 27 years old. I believe in taking care of my operating system and a balanced power profile and rigorous maintenance routine. In the morning if my game is a little laggy I’ll put on a memory optimisation program while running benchmarks. I can score 1000 now. After I remove unused programs I use a file clearing tool such as CCleaner. On the desktop I audit all my shortcuts , remove any I haven’t opened for a while and sort the rest into folders. Then I apply any driver or software updates before powering off my PC which I leave off for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use a keyboard cleaning wipe with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your fingers out and makes you type slower. Then screen cleaning, then wiping down my desk mat followed by a final system boot.
seriously. you guys are the same freaks that hide all their wires on your workstation for those lame pictures you like posting
Yeah, imagine having a not-cluttered-as-fuck workstation that looks nice?
Fucking savages don’t organize their cables.
exactly lolll
I see a background
And I want it painted black
No icons anymore
I want my desktop black

I’ve used and enjoyed that kind of setup a while back, but my new favourite is to have something that rotates different backgrounds. macOS has their dynamic wallpapers which you can set to cycle through different ones on a regular basis, which I really like. I still don’t like having any icons, though.
On Android, I use Muzei to get a different artwork as my background every day. It’s also very nice.
Same. I would go insane with a desktop like that.
The icons made your eyes twitch, but the Vista didn’t?
The lesser of problems, I’d wager. Managed to bypass Vista… and 8. shudders
Lol, dude should just slip in some skinned-up Linux Mint. Dad’s mind would be blown because OMG it’s so fast now!

Funny, because this looks a lot like how Longhorn did/was supposed to. Very pretty for its time.
Longhorn broke my heart, and I haven’t used Windows since (except to play Fallout)
Agreed, I am also a Longhorn enthusiast
Beta testing Longhorn, and it’s failure, just killed my last ounce of faith in MS. I went and bought a Mac after that, lol.
TBH, being into Macs are what got me into UNIX and Linux, though, so that’s something.
You’re sure it’s not 7? I loved the glass that 7 had.
The task bar on 7 Looked Way better
It is imo
Hah, as if you’d ever see the icons behind the millions of things I have running
Yeah what is this 2006?
Bonus point if you replace Chrome with Mozilla!
Insallah my brother in the Firefox jihad
Just change the icon to the chrome ones.
firefox, and get an adblocker on it
It looks like he has chrome pinned to his task bar in the bottom left.
You cannot make enough shortcuts for the elderly.
You can, but a desktop composed of entirely shortcuts to chrome I suspect wouldn’t be enough.
There is also a second desktop icon in the upper left, in the 4th column.

I’d nearly forgotten all about Vista.
This looks like windows 7
The start button whose circle is larger than the start menu gives it away that it’s probably Windows Vista
You could shrink it in 7 to do that to if I recall
Cool picture. But Chrome? Why?
Removed by mod
GTA SA is dope even today :D
I remember that being the one where you can headshot someone and their head explodes with a spurt of blood and their arms reach up and flail around briefly before they die… Wonder why they didn’t keep that around with the later sequels? Oh and finding the double ended purple dildo in the police station…
I know, finished the story again a few days ago
Its been a long time since I finished the story, I mostly played multiplayer
Not all the pointing people are old memes.
It’s like a “water this way” sign in the middle of a desert. The better solution is to get Librewolf and replace the icon with a Chrome one.
Good way to end up with passwords written on sticky notes
Right click desktop, create new, folder: Junk
Drag drop everything but that chrome icon into Junk.
Needs this to be in the middle.
Div mentioned
If you really wanted to have a good time, you could screen-shot everything as is and make that the desktop, then put all the real shortcuts into a folder on the desktop anywhere and watch the fun ensue
Eta: for extra entertainment, don’t forget to hide the Taskbar
The shortcut was at the tip of the penis
I understood that reference.
Instead of fixing the symptom, maybe you could address the underlying problem of all that clutter on the desktop. ….or pin it somewhere it won’t be encroached by new files
It’s pinned to the taskbar. If my own father is anything to go by, trying to clean up their desktop is a futile and temporary effort.
There are at least twice as many icons s on his desktop as on mine!
It is pinned to the taskbar
Also the first icon in column 4
All of those files look very important and need to stay where they are…
…then he complains i made a mess.
Didn’t think about icons being on a grid, eh? Whoever made this had to turn it off to place the Chrome icon there. Amateur move
That’s pretty funny! Thanks for making me smile.
Legit makes my day to make someone smile :)
Can you share the background?
Thank you! I don’t know what I’ll put in the middle yet, that’s such a big decision
Godspeed.
Most of the time my desktop is covered, so I use folders on the toolbar
What in the world
