Good progress so far. I can tell you still got some work to do.

Well, I try to make my gaming box look as much like a Mac as possible. You can get the Windows dock here: http://download.com.com/3000-2341-10222344.html

You can also set it up so the dock autohides (like on the Mac), or set it to the right side of your screen so it doesn't hide your taskbar.

Nice.

But I dont see what it is with you people and docking your icons on the side of the screen. I personally think its ugly. What is the purpose of doing that?

I've always done that. Its because...

1. it keeps them all out of the way and in order.
2. i have so many that there are actually drop boxes on that side bar and list a whole bunch more in each catagory... kinda like the start menu.
3. that bar is always ontop. like the task bar. so programs dont cover it up. and when i have programs open. i can get to any of thoes programs to open them easily and quickly without minimizing anything on my desktop.

and 4... When you have as high of resolution as i use... that bar takes up like nothing on the scren

The docking is neat and tidy.

I can't see how people can stand just having a bunch of shortcuts littering their entire desktop. THAT is ugly.

Oh no, young grasshopper.

It is only ugly when their is not creative organization applied. My desktop has plenty of short cuts, 20 to be exact, but they are organized in a artful way that I find much prettier than a dock.

[Happydude]

yeh...or like my desktop



docks aren't comfortable IMO...

Here's my new one, I think its a purty shot...

[Rndm_Perfection]

I find that if I have too many shortcuts on my desktop, it's sometimes hard to find hte program you want to run, thus defeating the purpose of the "shortcut". That's why I limit myself to:

My Computer
My Network Places
Internet Explorer
My Documents
Hotmail link
a folder with all my programs in it
a folder with all my games in it
Recycle bin
and a shortcut to my dial-up

Here's my new one.
