Panther and hidden desktop tile

2004-08-14 Thread kaldav
Hello, I am running OS 10.3.4 and using Internet explorer. When I double click a saved web page, and Expose moves the Explorer windows to the center, I see a file behind them which is labelled Hidden. I can't find it to delete it, just see it. In OS9 Sherlock could make desktop files visible.

If I remember correctly, when I did this on my Pismo, the mirroring was there all along, just off the the right of the screen and I had to pull that screen into view with the arrow (hand). I watched a DVD that way, but after that I just used my regular DVD player and never used the feature again.

I agree... while fairly new to Macs, I find them much less trouble overall than peecee's. When I have problems with my Mac, I figure on maybe an hour or two sorting things out. When one of my peecee's goes down, I make sure the fridge is stocked with cold beverages and write off the weekend!
