Desktop at work... No MSTS I'm afraid

However I use Webshots desktop manager (http://www.webshots.com) and have lots of MSTS Woodhead Screenshots and Photos stored in it which cycle round to a new shot every minute...

Mine's plain blue - large wallpaper graphics eat up a decent sized chunk of system resources, so I stopped using them ages ago!

My wallpaper is the pic of stonehenge that comes with Windows XP. Used to have a black and white photo of an A4 once.

Well the one at home currently has a West Highland 37 and a load of Railfreight coal wagons on James Hunt's Modern England Line, but the work one has a rather fetching picture of Ms Nicole Kidman!

Snap.

And I only ever see the desktop when the PC is either booting up, or shutting down - all the rest of the time, it's "hidden" by Outlook Express, Internet Explorer, Paint Shop Pro, Train Sim Modeller, CuteFTP, Notepad, or MSTS

To be fair, I turn off the Webshot Desktop Manager before I use the RE - I've seen a desktop image change freeze up RE a couple of times, and it doesn't do MSTS itself any good either!

Brilliant green and battleship grey, with signal red lists, Art Deco at it's very best!

As usual another topic degenerates into rubbish.Ask a question,get everything but an answer.A new broom has been sorting out the site across the water too.Serious culling of off topic contributers.I've started to post there,and even with my limited knowledge,I've contributed to helping other simmers solve some probs.I've also been helped too.That's it for now,get well soon
