Spikes in CPU usage -- normal? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I am new to customizing Windows and I'm using Systemetrix in combination with ObjectDock.

New to customizing, question... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I've seen several screenshots of people with desktops with the big icons down the bottom in the center. I was curious what program did this.
