actually, i uninstalled a bunch of stuff this morning. I came to my computer, only for it to tell me i had 144mbs of space left.... now i got 3.5Gb. Well i guess that's what happens when u leave Grokster(kazza type program) running all night Razz
More importantly tho, What do u guys think of my **new** desktop?

To get an awsome theme (like the one i have) go to http://www.themeXP.org
Of course, when you are there, go to the how to install section. You need a program called Style XP otherwise they wont lod properly (usually just the backgrounds load w/o it). Then Browse the Visual themes section

Oh, and Asok, like all p2p programs, you can remove Cydoor. (also KazZaa has MUCH more spyware the grokster ever did but lets not turn this into a discussion about spyware... Wink )
Here's a very funny boot screen you can download: http://www.themexp.org/view_info.php?id=10700
