Evert, what's the editor you're using?

nedit. I've been using it as a graphics mode text editor (that is, when I don't use VI ;)) for years now. It's (or at least used to be) a lot lighter and faster than emacs. I see they've added some new goodies since the 5.2 version I'm using... maybe I should update it to the latest version.
Last I knew, there was no stand-alone Windows port, meaning it needs a Windows port of X11 to work there. I never got it to run well in Windows, but then again Boxer is probably the best Windows editor I've ever used, so I don't really miss nedit too much if I find myself in Windows and in need of text editing.

The wallpaper can change every 5 minutes, so I picked one that's not so jarring on people's eyes. :)

Highly probable, if you keep downloading things to the desktop :)

I use a folder, c:\downloads, where I put everything I download.
I also have a separate folder, c:\programming, where I put all my code (easy when it comes backup time).

Most of my downloads are in My Documents. Most of these are programming folders or shortcuts, not that I use the shortcuts on my desktop very often.:P

Here's my desktop ^_^

All I've got installed is VS.NET, Symbian Series 60 SDK, Irfanview, Foobar 2000, Nero, Gaim, TaxCut, Firefox, Y-ABC, and Valve's Steam [HL2, CS:Source].

Simple and not much else eh? Whatcha think?

A few weeks ago I realised that I really use only 4 icons on my desktop often. So, I left those alone, killed everything else, and voila - the perfect desktop :P.

EDIT: Damn, I hate my new connection. For all those interested in the lower part of the picture - [url http://meditech.pl/temp/pulpit.jpg] :).

krajzega, instead of the names of the programs, you type their purpose. What would you put for IE?
