Aye, I use Quicklaunch for Bryce, Photoshop, Maya, Rhino, and Firefox... Most of my other icons aside from the regular Windows stuff are just temporary crap that sits on my desktop until I get to it... Sackrat, does the black background help keep your mind clear of previous influences? Maybe I'll try it out, I still have my latest pic up on my desktop, perhaps it's keeping me in a rut...
