What does your desktop look like?
 

What does YOUR current desktop look like? Mine changes at least once a week, but here it is right now...

Here's my current wallpaper

My desktop:D

I hit the "print screen" button. This copies it to the clipboard. Then go to paint and paste it in there. Then I save it a a .jpg. YOu might need to shirnk it down like I did.

It's on your keyboard, if you have one, usually above the cursor keys and "home", "end", ect keys.
And you may have to use the "Ctrl" key at the same time for it to actually work.

When I push print screen, nothing looks like it happens. Try going to paint and pasting. I bet it is there, it just doesn't give you any sign that it was copied there

Yes. Open Paint, and go to the EDIT menu, and click on Paste. It should then "paste" the image onto the blank page. Then you can do a "save as" to a folder somewhere, where ever, and save as a .jpg with whatever you want to call it (screen.jpg). Only problem with Paint is it's harder to properly scale down the image as Volkl42 said to do. If you have a different photo software program, may be easier to use that. (Maybe the other guys can help you more with Paint. I rarely ever use it)

the clipboard is just a temporary work area were objects go when you perform a copy operation. hitting print scrn makes a copy of your desktop as a bitmap and puts it on the clipboard. you can then paste it to any application (such as paint) that will accept pasting a bitmap.

-hit print scrn
-bring up paint
-click on edit, paste

What's remote assistance? And unless I can do it from class, I'm afraid I can't help, sorry. Believe me, I'd rather be sitting in front of the computer, but I am off to "Empirical Political Research Methods" :mad:

Here's what I have on my desktop. Except, a full screen version. :)

Another...

We do, but Bubba and Guido are out of town right now.:D

Here is mine
 

Anybody want to guess what it is in? Hint - it is NOT in the 240D and it is not a car I own unfortunately. It is full screen on my monitor at work.

By the tilted engine, if it's a Benz, Id have to say one of the origional style 300SL's. That's the only Benz I'm aware of that tilted the engine like that.
Aw...Bill beat me to it!:p

That is it Bill - good job.
There was a Gullwing on ebay not too long ago and I kinda helped myself to the pictures. It makes a pretty unique screen saver and none of the folks I work with have a clue what it is:) - they are used to those bow tie engines.

whoa where did the thread go?
 

i posted an image of a pentium processor etching which i thought everyone would know was about Bill Gates - apparently not.

i guess i should ban myself for a week?:confused:

my desktop
 

this is one of the places i visit during summer, an abandoned island called Ille Fourche. it is right between s.t martin and st. barth's- about a 2 hour sail from each.

for those of you who don't know im a licensed Coast Guard Captain of a 50 ft sailing vessel in the caribbean during summers.

TXBill try this to post your wall paper:

1. Press Print Scrn button.
2. Open Paint
3. Edit paste
4. It will say The image in the clipboard is larger than the bitmap. Would you like the bitmap enlagred? Click Yes.
5. Click Image - from the drop down menu select- Stretch/Scew or press ctrl+W.
6. A window will open- under Stretch change Horizontal and vertical to 40% and click OK.( You can click 50% if you want but the image may be too large to upload)
7. Select the Marquee next to the star on the left hand side and select the picture( your wall paper) Click edit and select copy.
8. Select File new. A pop up window will appear. Select no.
9. Select Edit- paste. A popup windoiw will appear saying The image in the clipboard............. Select Yes.
10. Click File save as 24 Bit map. And you should be done. The image size will be around 370K.
I hope this helps.

speedy300dturbo,

Can you send me the high resolution version of those pictures? or maybe point me a direction where I could download them? :)

Thanks!

I have seen them but never found them a higher res version of them anywhere..

Here is what I see everyday on my Desktop. Both in the office and home.

Mine also changes weekly. Last week was a E320 and the week before was an Eleanor pic I took at the car show. Heres the current one.
