Active Desktop Recoveryby `JohnSu

Flash / Interactive

I don't know if this screen still shows up in Windows today, but some of you might remember it (under the assumption you've run Windows before). I think this was a Win2K thing. Anyhow, I made this quite a while ago and thought to share it with any who were interested. Click the "Restore my Active Desktop" multiple times to see what happens. It makes for a decent prank, I think.

In order to make this into a desktop, you may have to download it to hard drive and make an html in the same location. Windows ought to be able to load html's as desktops. Anyhow, you can save a copy of the aforementioned page here: [link]

EDIT:
Alright, I didn't think it was possible, but I guess enough people have downloaded the html to eat my daily bandwidth allotment for that hosting service. So, if you're really desperate, here's a copy/paste script. Have fun trying to figure out what it was before dA decided it would be helpful to format in all the smileys:

EDIT2: I've removed the pasted script, since it's apparently too confusing. Just use that link above.

Signatures are so overrated. Far too many people use them. I mean, some people put signatures on websites that don't have a signature option, by writing them into the post!

And it's not like I have anything to add. Why would I write a signature anyway?
