Why that background?
Because I like it. I wanted something fannish at work, because I feel like work is stifling my personality, and this at least lets me feel a bit more like myself. I love that it's concept art from FotR. Concept art from movies is something I've always loved, and when I saw this I knew it would be a perfect background.

I try to change my desktop wallpaper every month. That reminds me, I need to change it. Perhaps I'll post another picture once I decide what I want this month...

Why is your toolbar where it is?
Because that's where it goes in Windows platforms. Duh. ;)

Why the choices on your toolbar are present:
It's the stuff that I use the most at work. Microsoft Outlook for work e-mail, IE for personal e-mail and LJ, Photoshop, Illustrator, PageMaker, Word, and WMP. Then off to the right there's some other junk that was standard when they first set me up on this computer 2.5 years ago. I never bothered to change any of it.

What the desktop icons are:
Mostly work-related stuff. I keep my computer at work pretty clean. Netscape Navigator, the LAN connection crap, IE and Outlook (which were there when I got this computer -- I just never bothered to get rid of the giant icons above when I have the shortcuts on the toolbar), Adobe Acrobat and Distiller, FoxPro timesheets so the management can track hours spent on different projects (which I found out yesterday they tweak, anyway, so why bother?), and WMP (which I should also clear off my desktop).
