Interesting. I like to keep my desktop clean. I'll save files there during the day, but then move everything to a folder before I get off my laptop. I hate a cluttered desktop.

FWIW, the desktop is from Mt Wilson observatory last fall when Jupiter and Venus were near conjunction.

I got the image from NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day website: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/

Great photo. The views from the hills around Los Angeles are spectacular.

my desktop is only used for stuff want to see like a background... but i like opening a few from time to time. :)

all the apps i want to open quickly is on the top bar and everything else through the "start" menu. however, i have a "media" keyboard with some buttons (100% customizable in linux :D) for extra apps. but i have to say, wtf is with the "function lock?!" did i mention it's a microsoft *gasp!* keyboard?

the star button takes a screenshot. ^_^

I'm just completely anal about having an icon-free desktop. I don't clutter the start menu either. Everything I need to access I can just launch from Windows Explorer.

My guess is it was taken in the vicinity of the Mt Wilson Observatory or somewhere east of there.

I see you use malewarebytes and CC Cleaner too. Those are a must for me. Is Opera your go to browser? Is it more secure than Firefox in your opinion?

I use Opera for almost everything. Once in a while I will use Chrome when there is a website that is not compatible with Opera, or when I want to use Google's reverse image search.

As far as security, can't say it is more safe than Firefox, but Opera always scores 100 when I run an Acid3 test.
