How To Organize Your Desktop Like A Boss
Explorer Is Terrifying
This Is My Co-Workers Desktop. Amazing
How do you do that? The way that the desktop works, it puts the icons in straight lines across the screen, in a 2D fashion. But the way that the desktop is set up here, you can see that the icons on the shelves and the cork board all of the items are on slightly different heights.
Right click on desktop > "View" > uncheck "Align items to grid"

I sense great vulnerability. A man-child crying out for love; an innocent orphan in the post-modern world.
I was searching and found this background for my desktop, which I like even better. https://www.teahub.io/viewwp/iRibim_empty-office-wallpaper-desktop-wallpaper-office/
That comes from an old Packard Bell desktop manager, somewhere in the 90,s !
The desk should have space underneath for naps, with a shelf for blanket.. Sweet dreams George :)
I can't do this at work cause my computer is too old. It won't let the apps be placed where I want them to be placed.
I will get hated for this but I think it is impossible for be to be satisfied.
... Why don't you just talk to him. Say, "Hi?!?!" Having his picture isn't doing you any more pleasure... Actually seeing him in person, might... just a thought :) :)

Years ago I had a supervisor who always had his computer desktop covered with files. One day I did a screenshot of it and made it into a desktop picture. Then I hid his files on a server. He almost went crazy clicking on files and restarting his computer in an attempt to get it working.
I am going to do that to my ex *rubs hands with evil laughter*

My question is why would anyone have Internet Explorer displayed?
I'm definitely gonna have to use some of these ideas! For awhile, mine was the Dunder Mifflin background from The Office, lol. Most people at my work were dopes and didn't get it :/
