My wallpaper is actually a video file cause I have Windows DreamScene. It's a 2 minute video of one of my custom tracks in Trackmania Nations Forever. It makes looking at my desktop feel like a rollercoaster.

All the squares on the quick launch are programs that i use often, i just changed the icons. I like to keep things basic and neat. I have the taskbar set to auto hide, i ran the mouse over it so you could see what it looked like.
