Can´t you create a folder in your desktop ? Mauricio Ritter - Brazil Sonorking now: 100.13560 MRitter "Th@ langwagje is screwed! It has if's but no end if's!! Stupid php cant even do butuns on forms! VISHAUL BASICS ARE THE FUTSHURE!" - Simon Walton
Yes, but then I just have a collection of folders, and I have to open them whenever I start Windows (did I mention that there are some I'd like to have open all the time?), and it also comes with all that other baggage: menus, address bar, etc., which I can turn off, but then stupid XP sets all my folders to this style, even WHEN I DON'T SELECT "Apply To All Folders". :mad: Argh!

But when I drag a shortcut into the group, it complains about a missing .lnk and displays a stupid "MS DOS" icon! Marc Obviously it is not all Muslims.

Buy a copy of VMWare and you can install an old 3.1 system and submit yourself to untold hours of weepy-eyed nostalgia!

Now he only needs to find a Trumpet Winsock, use Netscape 2.xx (it had forms!) and he can browse CP in Win3.1! Your incessant rantings indicate you have a brain the size of a pea, and the mental capacity of a bag of hammers. - John Simmons

Maybe I should use my girlfriend's IBM-AT computer--640K RAM, 20MB hard disk, VGA display, good grief, and a 5 1/4" floppy! She was still using it last year! :-D Marc Obviously it is not all Muslims.

Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.Its probably using Win3.1 .pif files instead of shortcuts. Its trying to create a pif out of the .lnk (shortcut) and there is no program associated. Try dragging the actual exe.

hee hee hee. But seriously, I liked being able to organize icons (as in, shortcuts--remember those PIF files) into groups, which were really windows, instead of having them scattered all around my desktop. Yes, I can organize them into groups on my desktop, but I want to be able to collectively get rid of groups that I'm not going to use for the work I'm currently doing. I've tried those "multiple desktop" apps, but I don't like them. Is there anything like this for the "modern" Windows OS's? Marc Obviously it is not all Muslims.

Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.Use ActiveDesktop. My desktop is a series of framed HTML files and scripts; I don't have a single fugly 32x32 icon. If you're creative and artsy, you could make a *really* wicked desktop. Anything you can do in IE, you can embed on your desktop. Heck, you could implent your own file browser (a la Windows Explorer)...or use any automation-compatible COM object.

Trumpet Winsock!!!! That takes me back... he could always go for 3.11 and use the original MS TCP/IP stack... :-D I have a copy of 3.11 on floppies (all 9 of them).

Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.Wow. I absolutely hated Win3.1, and was glad to be rid of the Program Manager. But to each is own. However, you just reminded me of my favorite aspect of OS/2's Presentation Manager: All folders acted the same, and the desktop was just another folder. This was great, as it allowed you to group related documents and programs into a folder, open them up, and then when you were done just close the folder - all the programs and documents opened from that folder would then close also. This single feature worked as well for me as any IDE on other platforms - i'd dump my source code into a folder, open up the ones i wanted to edit in the E editor, and away i'd go. When i quit for the day, i'd close the folder, and the next day open it again and resume where i'd left off. Ah, the memories... Shog9 ------
Rather hammer futiley at the locked door than just sit and ignore it. Obviously finding a way to get through the locked door would be even better though. - Paul Watson, My Ignorance
