Windows XP Home SP2 (need to get the motivation to install my copy of Pro. Working retail has advantages, especially since Microsoft gives some nifty prizes for their training. Office 2k3 Pro here I come.)
Theme is ChaNinja RC3 by . Got that from ThemeXP.org, I think, or their themes website (which has a different name and URL).

Winamp 5 skin is MMD3 from the Winamp website. I added that particular color myself to help match it to my Windows theme. It blends with the taskbar pretty nicely when it's in minimal mode.
The little calander doohickey is from an absolutely ancient version of Webshots desktop that I close after it updates the calander.
This would be my first real post including anything beyond text, so I'm sorry if the links go wrong. I'll try to figure out how to edit it and fix those when I'm not half asleep...
Oh yeah, I forgot to add how to do those little quicklaunch menus I've got at the bottom. I'll do it as a basic walk up in case I lose anybody along the way.
Make a folder somewhere out of the way. This is going to be the location of the toolbar.
Make folders inside of this for any "menus" you want. You can also add buttons, like the "Command" button I have.
Put additional folders or shortcuts to applications into your "menus" to help fill them out. You can change these later if you have to.
To give the folder an icon, right click on it and go to Properties. Go to the Customize tab and "Choose icon".
Right-click the taskbar and go to "Toolbars", "New Toolbar...". Direct it to the first folder you made.
To make the menu pop-up instead of just open the folder, you have ot hold down Ctrl when you click it.
Personally, I unchecked "Show Title" so that the folder name doesn't show up anymore, and I left "Show Text" checked to leave the names of the menus up. You can do things to flavor, really. This trick also works for pointing the toolbar at "My Computer" to give you quick access to your hard drives through a menu interface.
Can't believe I used a PNG for this >.< I used to complain about stupid people making huge file sizes and ignoring the dial-up modem users. Damn high speed internet!
Umm, the comment has all the sources?

Neat trick, if I do say so myself.
