Here's mine ^^


(from the left; Outpost Firewall, eMule, mIRC, Trillian Astra, Asus AI Suite, Speedtouch diagnostics, Windows Live Messenger, Last.fm (which I really don't see the point in), uTorrent, Safely Remove Hardware, Semagic, Speedfan (no, it's not at 72*C), Peerguardian, ATi CCC, NOD32, Sony Ericsson PC Suite, Realtek HD Audio Manager, Network connection, volume)

I only have ZoneAlarm, AVG, Volume controll and WLAN. And of course MSN if I am using it.

Right now I am on my laptop posting from college, I have my KDE Volume control, SuperKaramba, Klipper, KDE network Manager and KDE Power Manager running.

Let's see, in order from left-to-right that's OpenOffice.org Quickstarter, Winamp, PeerGuardian, HP printer monitor, Safely Remove Hardware, sound mixer, Windows Live Messenger, Yamaha XG SoftSynthesizer, DAEMON Tools, NVIDIA control panel, and a couple of avast! anti-virus icons.

BTW, is there any way to keep attachments from being resized to thumbnails in the post?

I keep mine clean. Only ZoneAlarm and SoundMAX Control Panel are housed in there. (I dont have heaps of crap that boots itself when I turn my computer on).

Only the strict minimum

time (fulltime )
winamp agent (damn foobar gui layouts and visuals still sucking. still waitin for official win Amarok)
daemon tools
game jackal (when needed only)
s.terminator
most efficient antivirus
xfire
pg2
fraps
S.search and distroy
titanium-plated firewall
keystroke encrypter
sandboxing soft
smart doctor, for my geforce
logitech pad profiler (just removed 8 months ago, logitech sh*t sucks big time)
blogbridge (duh)
website watcher (duh)
XAMP lite, for selfteaching purposes (when needed only)
a download manager (when needed only)
2 communication softs
RaimaRadio
2 softs' preloaders
a few other random softs, including some monitorers and a personal wiki (no torrent client, funnily enough)


Just the strict minimum for the XP, as you see I dont like buggy cr*p like mirc sitting in my tray
yea, i need me some better rig, ram adding no longer optimal NFS PS locks out to 0 fps frequently with some softs active, I guess thats a pretty obvious push to dual cores

PClinuxOS and Ubuntu are still pretty bare and close enough to their default states, so nothing remarkable there

i have msn, soundmax s**t and removable device thing only... you guys scare me sometimes :|

I have, from left to right:

* (Windows) Speaker (volume control, mute etc)
* Virus Scanner
* (Windows) Network thingy (flashes blue when traffic happens)
* Sygate Personal Firewall
* mIRC
* (Windows) Another Network thingy (I have 2 network cards)

From Left to Right as well:

Flashget, Steam, nhancer, ZoneAlarm Firewall, Tor/Videlia/Privoxy, Roboform, Wamp Server (For testing purposes), Spybot Search and Destroy, Windows Live Messanger, Alcohol 52% FE, Daemon Tools 4.10, Nvidia Tray Icon, Ageia Physix Tray Icon, Avast Antivirus, and a whole hell of a lot more if I didn't disable some startup programs.

What till you see my lovely desktop on XP and Vista.

top left to bottom right

msn, steinburg dongle emu, network bridge
wireless card, disconnected lan, speakers
daemon tools, nvidia tray, mcafee

Left to right;

Internet connection thing, Utorrent, AVG, MSN, Speedtouch thing (My ADSL modem diag software),Sensive Guard, peer guardian, Nvidia tray, Volume, LAN disconnected thing, time.

Tbh I usually close most of them, depends what I'm doing. This PC I'm on now is very slow so it needs all the help it can get (Athlon XP 2500+, says it all really).

Hah, my pc is a 500 mhz celeron.

from left to right

• uTorrent client
• MSN messenger
• Windows Security Alerts (Crap)
• Free Download Manager
• Sync Center (I didnt have to Install it again.. phew)
• Windows Sidebar (crap, used for sometime but all show)
• Virtual DAEMON Manager
• Safely Remove Hardware
• Quick Time
• Network
• SoundMAX Controller
  

Turn off the Security Center, it's just a complete waste of space.
You'll find it in the Services.
