New desktop. Decided to give windows gadgets another chance. Wallpaper is from a KDE distribution, I think.
Icons are not hidden, I just keep my desktop clean, use it only for temporary stuff. I run most programs/games with the run command (included a folder full of shortcuts in PATH). I missed dmenu so much when I migrated back to windows. This is a suitable replacement (together with the awesome windows7 taskbar pinning/shortcuts).

My new desktop after recently upgrading to Windows 7 and a new hard drive. Still got a ton of games left to install, it all looks so bare compared to the clutter of about 40+ icons i previously had

Heres my very cluttered desktop.

Not really much on my desktop as I find the search function in the start menu to work great.
I honestly rarely see my desktop (mostly only when I turn on or off my PC), the rest of the time there's at least an app maximized.

Yea, yea... I see what you did there.
(SC2 icon :p)

By the way, how did you got SC working on Windows 7?
Anyway, here is mine. I like my desktop nice and clean. Have most of my games in the Games Explorer / Steam / Impulse, and my programs in the start menu.

It just works; I have the glitchy graphics in the menus but in-game everything is great.
I also use Resolution Expander to game at my native resolution (wide-screen) when playing single-player or LAN (you can get banned on Battle.net if you're caught using it).

My heavily modded desktop with Rainmeter, Samurize (built-in Pandora radio), Rocketdock, and a custom theme to Vista.

The whole project took me about 6 hours.

Whenever i try to install SC task manager freezes and it takes about 10 minutes for it to start installing. Than once its finished and i go to play the game it says i dont have the disc inserted.

Can we move on from the Windows 95 crap, people?

I didn't really see any Windows 95/98, mostly Windows 2000 to 7

I was referring to the Windows Classic theme so many people are using.

I think they just like the old school theme. (Not so hard to believe here at GOG :) )

This might be considered blasphemy, but I don't have a PC anymore, I sold to purchase this.
I'll replace in after me and the wifey get jobs again, but going to go with a desktop replacement laptop, tired of dicking around with home built rigs.
