    What do you have as your Desktop Background & Screen Saver?


    What do you have as your Desktop Background & Screen Saver?

    I personally have the default Windows 7 background on my main PC and the default Windows Server 2008 background on my Server running WHS Vail.

    My Screensaver is 'Sysinternal Bluescreen', or as most people call it when they first see it "Your PC's just got a BSoD mate, unlucky" followed swiftly by me pressing the escape key and them looking shocked.

    You can get the BSoD screensaver from BlueScreen if you're interested (put it in C:\Windows\System32\ and then try and change your screensaver).

    Can anyone top that?

    Well I don't know about topping that, but I've got over 7000 pictures I use for backgrounds on slideshows of about 200 to 500 each so I don't use a screensaver.

    When I use the screensaver I have my pictures folder running as that has different folders so I never know whats going to be showing. My desktop picture can change depending on my mood, it might be something from my wallpaper folder or, like at present, one of the Windows themes, I'm using Canada at the moment in a slide show.

    Just so you know, you can attach images by going Advanced and clicking the paper click.

    You may get the rather annoying new style upload screen which I don't like. You can change this in your account preferences if you don't like it .

    I don't use a screensaver, I just have my monitor go off after 20 minutes of no use. A Guy
