No, it's a drive on a network. I'm too lazy to windows key + r to open it. LOL

Also, Aero Glass isn't on because my video card died a while back.

Is that rocket dock?

I thought about using something like that (had used it years ago, but never with windows 7. Does it get rid of the taskbar at the bottom?

Yeah, it's Rocketdock and no, it doesn't get rid of the taskbar.  I don't use it as much, though.  The main thing I use Rocketdock for is as a replacement for unsightly icons all over my desktop.

I've also got Rainmeter, but all I use that for right now is the clock and CPU usage indicator (top left).  Rainmeter is extremely versatile, though, you can make it look like and do pretty much whatever you want.

It's really nice, I think I might steal that as my background for a bit.

I still use Quick Launch for most of the lesser used icons to keep the desktoip clearish- except MicroS**t have broken the quick launch toolbar so you can't detatch it from the taskbar anymore, which is annoying.

Instead of just stealing that James McNeill Whistler painting, I went ahead and made a new theme with a bunch of his "Nocturne" works





cool
