The minimalist look (Which isn't displayed here very well, due to abundance of icons). Also good as i can access everything without having to minimize a single window.
![index.php?t=getfile&id=4838&private=0](index.php?t=getfile&id=4838&private=0)
You may still think "OMG he still has tonnes (or tons) of icons all over his desktop" but i had a lot more to start with. In fact every icon on that toolbar was on it.
Anyone else use this method?

- Unlock the taskbar
- Right click the taskbar and select Toolbars
- Create a new folder and use it
- On the taskbar, your selected folder will appear on the right next to the toolbar section. Drag it onto your desktop.
- Drag it to the side of the screen you want it to be attached to untill it attaches itself.
- Now you can add icons into it.
It's completely grey however and is unaffected by your XP skin.

Actually i just dragged and dropped ![Smile](images/smiley_icons/icon_smile.gif)
And then set it to auto-hide.
I'm surprised no one said OMG ch3at3r! Ch3at 3ng1n3! as i have it listed there.

Also I don't use the XP skins (they look ugly, especially IE7/why i now use FF).
I've noticed there's one option that was missed in the classic skin options in xp, the tree-view colour(which is used for other things in other programs, such as the search toolbar for firefox)
![index.php?t=getfile&id=4843&private=0](index.php?t=getfile&id=4843&private=0)
(the green)
How could I change this to something other than the preset ones?
Registry?

Yes, two screen shots. No hotkey to make it appear/disappear.
Image ready to compile it into a animated gif
