Description
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.

No semicolon. Just p. Like < + param name. No space. Like "

A plus sign?
And do I put that first link under "URL's used in this movie"?
And where the second link in your code is?

I'm sorry for not knowing, but could you tell me how to save this as HTML?
It tries to save itself as .txt

Well, the formatting between html and txt should be the same. If you can rename the file extension from .txt to .html, it should work.

When I do that, my desktop just transforms into this green-background thing full of those symbols you get when you press ALT+####.
But my computer is old and bitter, so it would make sense that it wouldn't work.

This is AWESOME. I've set it as my desktop, which is a very rare thing for me to do; I didn't really realise you could make Flashes into desktop backgrounds. So many new possibilities! Thank you so much!

It still shows up on Windows XP, but ever so rarely. I think I've had it once or twice out of a few years?
