After cleaning up my horrible messy desktop, this is what you get:

dickieC · 04-01-2003, 06:09 AM

I've got a picture of Helena Bonham Carter. Before that it was Neptune (the planet, not the Roman god).

And only six icons (I'd have fewer, if I could work out a way of getting rid of Network bloody Neighbourhood).

right click desktop (an area without icons)

choose preferences

go into the desktop settings

choose custom or spechial setting (translating here, i dunnow)

uncheck the icons you don't want to be permanent on the desktop

Nope, can't find what you mean. I've got Windows ME, not XP.

how do you show what is on your desktop?

lafey · 04-01-2003, 12:28 PM

sorry i'm new

Deviate · 04-01-2003, 12:33 PM

don't be sorry.

to display any picture on the board it first needs to be on a website. if your desktop image is already on a website then you're set.

if not, you can make a screenshot of desktop and save that picture to a website.

once it's on a website all you have to do is click the *img* button in the post screen and type in the url of the image, like http://www.blahblahwebsite.com/desktoppic.jpg or something.

that's all you need!

okay, most computer keyboards have a button on the righthand side that says "Print Screen" or Prt Scrn" as mine does.

when you click the button it will take a picture of whatever is showing on your monitor at that precise moment. It then transfers this image to your ‘clipboard’ or your temporary storage. Open up an image program (like Microsoft paint if you have Windows). Click EDIT at the top of the screen, then go down to PASTE. It will transfer your screenshot to the image.
