SCREENSHOT CHALLENGE! How well do you know your computer?

[3ICE]

Task:
Take a screenshot that contains the Windows Explorer view of your Desktop, and the Windows Explorer views of every root folder and Program Files directory of every partition you have (C:\, D:\, F:\ etc).

Conditions:
Your desktop's background image must be fully covered by the open Explorer windows. Not even one pixel of background may be visible.
Move your taskbar to the top of your screen and lock it.
You must make every Explorer window the exact same size! (I will measure it in pixels.)
The windows must be at least 100px taller than their width.
Every file and folder must be visible.
There may be no scrollbars present in the screenshot. (Disabled (grayed out) scrollbars are okay.)
The screenshot may not be edited. (You can cover files and folders that have sensitive information with a black rectangle, but nothing else may be changed.)

Good luck

Send you submissions in a Private Message to 3ICE!

p.s.: If you think this is impossible: I just did it in 5 minutes.

I'm glad computer illiteracy is not contagious. Otherwise I'd be running from here. :)

This means there are zero winners. No submissions have succeeded at fulfilling every condition. The closest one was from artieNL, but his windows had scrollbars that he tried to cover up in MS Paint but I spotted the edit. (He overshot it by 1px, eating out a line from the edge of the window in question.)

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here. (Questions about how to solve this task properly. - I will not post my solution.)

That's silly. We don't get to see the contestants stuff...

And what if your screen is 16:9?

And what's so bad about scroll bars...

Perhaps you should have given an example of what your asking.

[3ICE]

Yeah, you don't. You are just angry because you can't solve it.

And what stops you from changing it? My screen goes up to 2560x2048 but can also be 640x480 if I want.

Nothing bad about them, but not many people know how to make them disappear. It is extra challenging to find that particular option/workaround. (Especially since there are 0 results on Google )

Then I would have solved my own challenge, making it pointless.

[manstie]

Not angry.

Regedit?

Then what stops people from just making random folders with nothing in them?

I still don't fully understand what the challenge is asking. Please elaborate.

[3ICE]

What? Why would you need regedit to change your display resolution? Even my grandmother can do it. Almost... (I've seen her try and it was a poke in the right direction... She's gotten as far as right clicking on the desktop.)

EDIT: Then read it line-by-line.

[manstie]

True, but I don't see how there is a way to get past 1920x1080.

I already read it line-by-line.
Elaborate your lines.

[3ICE]

You can update your display driver or just force it into higher modes. By the way 1080p is more than enough for taking a screenshot.

is that somewhat along the lines except for the explorer window sizes and the sidescrolling bars?

[3ICE]

Not even close

My Music folder not needed fail.
My documents folder not needed fail.
Root directories missing fail.
Pendrive isn't a HDD partition so it's not needed fail.
Windows are not the same size fail.
Some windows are not taller than their width fail.
Desktop folder missing fail.
Scrollbars fail.
etc...
