I was wondering how many of you use a background wallpaper for your desktop?

Reason is that I just have a pitch black color.

I used to have wallpapers but I like the solid color better because my icons stand out better.

You have seen my desktop in some of the screenshots I have posted.

Post a screenshot of your current desktop

If you use paint you can blot out sensitive stuff if you need to

At my work machine I'm using the full size version of this...

I'm using a silhouette style Mutant Chronicles wallpaper presently, since it is dark and easy on the eye.

I use the COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project) logo for my laptop's desktop.

I wonder if anybody at work would notice I included that with the next update push to all of the desktops.

I've been using that one on my writing laptop for ages. It is easy on the eye/brain and quite fun.

hoohoo! I bet those desktop icons slow up your boot!

I may use a wallpaper, but have a high end pc so it doesn't matter for me. But desktop icons really slow booting up and explorer.exe issues, so I make folders to drop everything into on my desktop :

security : AV, spyware, download tools
AudioVideoImagery : contains everything that plays and edits those three
Gaming : shortcuts in here, including games, Teamspeak, Fraps, etc
Software : shortcuts that don't fit in the above!
Writing : contains mine
School : anything to do with that

I hate unnecessary waiting to boot up really.

I hit the button, plug in my password and go do something - The only time I wait for it is on a reboot and it doesn't take long at all. In fact I never noticed.

I have most of my services shut off and the only things I boot is my av and my firewall and google talk

I've been really depressed lately, so I changed it to default and got rid of all unwanted items. It's meat and potatoes for me.
