I got so sick of my desktop littered with pathetic shortcut icons that were probably causing more trouble than they were worth. So, I did a little shopping around for a free program launcher utility and came across Fast Launcher. It is really simple to set up and now I can’t even recognize my computer screen any longer. No more shortcut icons strewn all over the face of my screen.
Back when I first graduated from Win 3.1 to 98SE, and effectively lost the Program Manager in favor of the desktop, I quickly learned that it’s handy to treat desktop shortcuts and icons the same as browser favorites/bookmarks, collect related ones into sub-folders.
So I’ve got one for system utilities, one for internet (basically, anything I’m likely to use online), one for games, and so on. There’s a few oddball things like an antique copy of DBase I’m into a lot that don’t fit into neat categories, which stay as individual icons, but even so I only fill two columns in 800x600 mode.
I’m a reject from the Windows 3.11 for Work Groups era. Up until now I felt it was important to have these shortcut icons all over the face of my screen for some screwed up 3.11 reason. It has taken me years to get my act straight!
Hello guys… you wanna take a look how I solved that problem ?
I made Visual Style for WinXP to look just like some mixing between OSX and WinXp styles. I don’t use any additional program for showing that visual style, 'cause I don’t want some another program to take up my system resources. So I just patched uxtheme.dll in Windows and now I can use whatever I want to be my visual style. Just like normaln WinXP style or Win classic style…
Take a look in here:

Cheers !
Looks cool!
