OK, that's because you only have 1MB of space in total. We had to be strict with the limits cos we've got 500+ members. I'll up it to 1½MB in a minute for Elite Members though. If you want to delete old attachments, go to the User CP then in the Options section on the left, click "Manage Your Attachments". You can delete old ones there.

 

OK it's upped to 1½MB so you should be OK now.

my desktop is just black with a litter of icons.

i rarely even see it, as i always have windows open!

 

here at work i have 2 x 22" monitors. i aint seeing no desktop.

 

i have open:

dreamweaver mx

flash mx

fireworks mx

2 IE sessions

avant browser with 15 tabs on the go

an AS400 session

winamp with a shadow album playing

jasc paint shop pro 7

outlook

and brace of folder views (in explorer)

oh and visual basic 6 is open too

 

so the desktop means very little to me. my taskbar is useful though. i have about 30 shortcuts in my quick launch

Big rows of icons do my head in. I have a custom toolbar that looks like this in the Quick Launch area: -

Mowgli - Dee is the best one to ask about Black XP - I don't have the setup files. If you are using a regular installation, you either have to use a program such as Style XP or a hacked file so that you can use the theme. For some reason Microsoft decided you can only use official themes.

The text document that comes with it:

 

 

*Use patch, reboot.

 

*Copy Black XP.msstyles to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes.

 

Double left-click file and Apply!

____

 

 

Meaning... Use the patch. How can you not understand? Just double-click to use.

 

Copy the theme file to Windows\Resources\Themes, and double-click to apply it. Simple!
