Desktop Meme

When I was mentioning in comments on this meme that my desktop was boring, this is what I was talking about.  A few months before I started blogging, I had my computer radically upgraded and the man who did it also reinstalled Windows and I couldn't find the desktop that I had been using anywhere.  I guess I was being a bit stupid, but I just couldn't figure out how to get it back.  This meme made me renew my search and I finally figured out how to get back the desktop that I had been using before.


This is my favorite image of the ones which came with Windows and the one that I had been using for a long time.  Miss Peach told me how easy it was to use any picture I had on my hard drive as a desktop, so I decided to do a little experimenting.  It didn't work quite the way she said, because of the program in which I store my photos, but I figured it out.


This is what my desktop looks like now.  I think I'll keep it for a while.  Thanks, TT, for tagging me for this meme.  It finally got me to do something about my boring desktop.

Here are the rules for the meme:

Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop.It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun.


Here’s how you can do a screen capture:

1.Go to your desktop and press the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key).

Mommy bean note: On a laptop you use the Fn + prt sc keys then paste it into a graphics program.

2.Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and doing a Paste (CTRL + V). If you wish, you can “edit” the image before saving it.

3.Post the picture on your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop if you want. You can explain why you prefer such a look or why it is full of icons. Things like that.

4.Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktops as well.

5.Add your name to the list of Free Viewers with a link pointing directly to your Desktop Free View post to promote it to succeeding participants.
