The planet actually spins throughout the day, and the clouds are realtime, generated from satellite photos.  It's done using XPlanet, and NASA's "Blue Marble" high resolution graphics of the earth. [:D]

Mine changes every couple of days. I mainly use the built-ins that came with Windose XP, or nudes I was sent on AOL...

P.S. Right now it is one called "Azul". A small island with three palm trees on it, and a small sailboat off to the left, both in BEAUTIFUL blue water...

Next to the "Backspace" key on your keyboard, there should be a key marked "PrintScreen" or "PrntScrn", or some such. Hit it, and it takes a screenshot. Open your favorite imaging program, PhotoShop, or whatever, start a new picture, and paste it there. (File, Edit, Paste, or ctrl+V)

That's different. If I try to take a screenshot off WinTV (TV and VCR) or PowerDVD (for DVD playback), I have to use the screenshot tool built into these programs, or I'll just end up with big black squares.

Which DVD programs do you use? And by the way, I added you to my contact list in MS Messenger, still waiting to see you there...

If anyone is interested in making their icon text background transparent (so the wallpaper show through) go here for a freeware download.

majorwoody,

Where could I get that wallpaper of that Beretta 96G Elite2? I have an elite, and that pic would be perfect on my desktop.

My ISP is JUST AOL for right now. Not sure how they handle pics and such. I am gettting PowerLink on 4/20. Maybe Adelphia will have something more useful than AOL's cookie-cutter webpages...
