I am only slightly computer literate and have been looking for easy to use apps for altering one's desktop. The most minor feature I am looking for is one a friend of mine had that would change his desktop picture every time he restarted his computer. More complex alterations I am looking for are additions and changes (even radical ones) to desktop icons, menus, and something that is apparently called a 'dock'. Pretty much something with as much control as possible over the OSs appearance.
I am running windows vista. I know from playing around that I did back when that '98 allowed for easy alterations to icons and a few other things. I have looked a little bit and so far have not found ways of doing this with vista.
If anyone knows how to do some of these things without an app that would be welcome too, so long as it doesn't involve a lot of writing and changing code at least.
Multiple smaller apps that only do one or two of these things each would do aswell.
And preferably apps that are free. I'm not so intent on altering my desktop that I want to blow money on it.
Mentors: I figured that this would be the best place for this even though it is not a very serious or technical question. Feel free to move it to GD if you think that is appropriate.
