I dont know wheather this Topic is already discussed or not but i want to share some utilties with you. Some of them are Desktop enhancement Utilities,while some are Tools to keep your Clean and tidy. 1] Virtual Dimmension:- This is the utility most of winXP users will find handy,as it supports more than 8 desktops & it also allows transparency to each Window.It is very handy prog as it also allows you to make itself transparent so nobody can see it running.Small utility with No bugs for XP.You may find trouble using transparency option with some programs that requires lot of resource,but it works fine with Explorer,Image viewer etc. It can be downloaded from http://virt-dimmension.sourceforge.net2] Desktop Sidebar :- This is Freeware Sidebar that gives you experience of using Sidebar before launch of Longhorn.Lots of panels and features are available,You can even use Desktop slideshow feature from your desktop without clicking on to your my pictures folder.News,Messenger,Stock Market Qoutes,Weather can be viewed on this sidebar.You can download this sidebar from http://www.desktopsidebar.com3] WALL32 (real-time EARTH / MOON wallpapers) WALL32.EXE is a self-contained, real-time wallpaper generator, which simulates the earth's & moon's illumination by the sun.Nice tool for those who wanna see Full Moon in cloudy day Ha Ha! Small utility for Geologists,Astro students.Have a download from http://http://geocities.com/bartelyoti4] Y'z Shadow:- Y'z shadow is must have software for those who wanna make thier Menu's Transparent and To show shadows of windows borders.Nice software,Production of this software is discontinued and if you found any bugs with this will not be removed.You can download this from http://www.aquaxp.com Link sections. You can even search for Vitrite Utility in Google,Problem with that utility is that You have to use CTRL+Shift+(Number from o to 9) to set transparency of your selected object.I m too lazy to use this kind of feature. 5] Dock:- If you want to use Docks for windows XP you can downlaod freeware docks from http://dockex.com it include Y'z Docklet,MobyDock and some other freeware docks.You can also get freeware Stardock from http://stardock.com6] Visual Styles:- Well i want you to reply on this feature so if you know any site than i mentioned under this title pls let me know.Some of my favourites are http://imagehouse.co.zahttp://aquaxp.com [LINK Section] http://deviantart.comhttp://themexp.orghttp://skinbase.org7] Wallpapers:- Actually im very selective in terms of walllapaers,i like walapapers like Apples default wallapaper.So if you know any simmilar type of wallpaper site pls let me know. Wallpaper changers are in variety but i personally use Wallpaper Changer from http://tropicalwares.com8]XNview:- AS one of the member suggested Xnview for image resizing i tried that utility,good for pixel artist only drawback is that it is by default sets itself on top of XP's Image and fax viewer so i reported this bug to the autor.anyway you can downlaod it from http://xnview.comI think i tried to cover most of the utilites in this Thread,I like the Rhodium visual style very much, so wanna downlaod simmilar visual styles from net.You can reply if you know any better place for good quality visual style resource.

QUOTE(mahesh2k @ Apr 10 2005, 09:03 PM) dear mahesh, your suggestions are really good but the link given by you to virtual dimension is not working. By mistake you have typed dimmension instead of dimension. iI will request any moderator for correcting the spelling mistake as a members can't edit his posts.

An Icon Issue

Ghz dualcore P4 processor machine, 1 Gb RAM, 250 Mb HDD. Whenever I boot up, or even when I return
to the bare desktop after having had a number of windows open for a while, my icons on the desktop
are all blank ones, such as the ones you get when there is no program associated with a certain
file. Then, one by one, they begin to get the appearance they should have, but it is a real drag

Linux - Why It Fails As A Desktop Operating System?
(34) Linux is becoming such a craze nowadays that not even a single day passes without one or other
distribution releasing a new version. But why is it failing so miserably in the desktop arena. The
answer lies in three reasons. 1. The plethora of distributions -
Redhat,Debian,Ubuntu,Suse,Gentoo,Knoppix - everbody and his uncle is coming out with new ones. 2.
The lack of backward compatibility - I had Redhat 7.3 running. I upgraded to Redhat 9. Many
applications had to be recompiled. You ask my mom to recompile applications - She will throw out
