Well finally I got Vista themes working, I wasn't really using vistaglazz for SP1.

Here is my current desktop:

EDIT: Mewgia suggested to get a dock and remove those icons so:

Thank you everyone for all the help! My desktop is looking way better already.

I got some more questions though @_@

I'm not sure if it's Mac only, but is it possible for XP users to get those icons in the desktop that say like "C:" and "My Computer" and they also tell you how much space is left in the drive right under it? I've seen it in a lot of Macs, but dunno if it's possible.

Also, my mom uses a program called MagicJack...it's basically a phone that you plug into your computer. Well, anyway, the stupid program creates a shortcut item in my desktop, and it looks very ugly. Everytime I delete it, it makes a new one when the computer is restarted. Anyone know a way I could hide this icon or something? I tried looking in the settings of the MagicJack to see if there's an "enable shortcut item" or something, but there's not D:

Edit: Okay, I found out how to hide the MagicJack, but I'm still wondering about the HDD and stuff on the desktop.

Here's my desktop!

Its possible, download a .ico set (you can find it them at deviantart) and store it somewhere on your hard drive. here's a nice tutorial on how to change the icons. For the magic jack thing are you the administrator of the computer? the only solution i can think of right now is to click >run>msconfig and then the startup tab and uncheck the program.

I personally use a keystroke launcher called Enso. It's great. Launchy is also an option but I've never tried it.

    We all should have free health, dental, vision care, and make the college kids pay for the schooling, f that college forgiveness plan our govt doing now, its really not fair for all others in the past that had to pay for they're schooling anyways (like me, with 2 kids I paid to send to college in the past)

    @Sicklyboy - the comparison would be forgiving all medical debt, not making healthcare illegal!
  • cearp @ cearp:
    Although I still don't agree, medical debt is rarely a choice, whereas enrolling in university is certainly a choice

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    College costs, college loans, book prices, the entire thing is predatory, oft touted as essential to a successful life for my generation and the ones since, and completely unaffordable without putting you through an insane financial hardship for literal decades in many situations.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Many of the same issues can be seen for the insanely predatory healthcare and health insurance system in the US
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    ^this
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Issue is it's too rich of a coperation already with bad sugar diets causing diabetes and killing teeth a new set of teeth around 90k
  • cearp @ cearp:
    I agree it's not easy for the average American, let alone the ones below that average. Free / cheaper healthcare is much more important I think than free university education.
    Of course like @mthrnite said, why not both. But I doubt both will get solved at once, and surely healthcare is top priority.
