It was called Desktop Destroyer! I remember having a copy of it on a floppy disk.

It appears you can download it here: http://www.desktop-destroyer.net (I can't vouch for how legitimate the link is though)

Heh, comically enough it works out-of-the-box through WINE. Now all you *NIX users can enjoy a broken desktop (moreso than usual)

I totally remember. It was called Antistress.

I also remember a "cup holder" app which was advertised as a free cup holder. It had a button which when clicked opened the CD drive.

I miss those apps.

I remember that one. I have to say I miss the CDs loaded with what we'd call theming assets today. Sound themes, sound files for all those desktop apps that let you pick sound files for when your render finished or Lotus alarm went off or whatever.

Color themes for your desktop. Wallpapers, icons, some fonts and even some clip art both in EPS and BMP. Browse by category. Work assets, sure. But also family, holiday, history...

This could be done incredibly well today, but it isn't, that I know of. We've made big strides but I think there's still plenty of room for this important little stuff.

One place I worked at we had a nice little 'golf clap' when the build worked. Then of course you had to have the the 'missed the putt groan' when it failed. Nice feedback from 3 offices over and you did not have to sit and watch it. Fun times...

Yeah the feedback effect is great. I built a phased timer with espeak for feedback and after a while the default voice had me wishing for ASMR-style TTS of some sort...it was just too harsh.

I remember a Coca-Cola branded version of that app. I had way too much fun giving it to friends. :)

Speaking of destroying desktops: there was a nice screensaver for Windows : Gates does Windows 95.

I believe it might have been “Desktop Toys”
