You might not get some of the little extra perks that the individual programs have, but that way you don't need to load 5 different things to talk to people over the internet. Much more orderly and convenient.

And here's my new blue desktop:

Cool. Thanks for the info. I may consider downloading it. Ooh, and that desktop is just hot.

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
