Do you really want to set a half-naked man wearing a Roman toga as your Windows wallpaper? How about eight variations of that toga dude? I didn't think so.

Searching for a new job is hard enough without this insult to your intelligence. Oh yes, I'm sure I would enjoy bricklaying--pay no mind to my complete lack of experience or interest.

Sitcking with the genre of useless Windows utilities, this tool makes copies of directories. I personally prefer Copy and Paste to a $9 shareware program.
