Is anyone up yet??
I've been up all night mucking around with my computer. All was fine until I started customizeing some icons. Now I have a box below the icon, which contains the icons name but it soooo obvios. I like it with the icon and the name...no box thingy in there.

Anyone have any ideas. Help me, please. I need to get some sleep. :silly:

Thanks... another OCD Monk type.

Well I fixed it...after I slept. I'm OC but, I think my husband would definitely divorce me if I get any closer to becoming a Monkette. :P

Who stays up all night mucking around with their computer icons cuz they're just not perfect. :crazy:

7. I'm closing in on 35, haha.
Are you using Windows XP? If so, right click on the task bar and click "Properties." Click the "Start Menu Tab" then "Customize" then "Advanced" and you can find My Computer in there, just make sure the little box next to it is checked, and then click OK.

8. Show off!!
Wanna see my bags! ;) Thank you for your help! Thought you went to sleep - so when all else fails I try a book. Heard a rumor that they hide information in those damn things!!! Who'd a thunk it. Found exactly what you said, and I managed to do a few more little tweaks.

Hope you're around for shits and giggles when I start making a file server, lol. Have an old dog of a puter I'm thinking of using.

Love ya friend! :hug: You better get some rest! Ha Ha.

Actually, I went to see The Vagina Monologues.

I'll sleep eventually, haha.

10. You'll never get to sleep now.
Those damn talking vagina's will keep ya up all night. But, I digress. :evilgrin:

Just spent a wasteful 3 hours on the most convoluted website: http://www.stardock.com/

Yesterday I saw a nice computer skin that I wanted to buy but, I can't find it now. The theme was 'Once Upon A Time.' There was another nice one I would buy for my husband called 'Oxidized.' I almost order some icons but even the checkout process was screwy. Or maybe it's me. lol

That site is so messed up!! I'm not sure I want one now anyway. I signed up for the chat room and read their msg board. If something goes wrong and something always does - sounds like a big can of worms and repairs $.
