    Okay, I have a new desktop picture. This one was taken at the Pacific Ocean on the Washington coast.

    I learned something new today.... How to do a screenshot and post it. Thanks everyone who gave pointers on how to do it. This site is just the best!

    Here's my desktop at work with the picture of my 2 sons (Elwyn: 1 year & Darwin: 4 years) and their niece, Ayla (2 years).:)
    I simply love to see my sons before me.

    Hi Eldar,

    Very nice.
    What I also particular like is the combination of this icon with that text :D

    Hi Gerard,
    Thanks, they do look very cute.:)
    That icon is my access database for collecting all sorts of complaints from our customers, as well as making statistics of it for my chief. :doubt:

    PLEASE NOTE:

    All your desktops look marvy but for some of you - please consider getting and using TransText or something like it. It makes the text below your icons transparent! It would look so much better for those of you who have some coloured box behind the text.

    Thank you for sharing the pictures.

    Hi Rita, I'm always doing it through Irfan, although you can do it by rightclicking on your screen and choosing Properties (screen). The picture must be saved in Windows directory as BMP, before you do this.
    Here's a screenshot about how to do it in Irfan. Good luck. ;)
