Hi Laurie,
I had the same problem with A 1.61 and also working with
BootGUI=0.
Changed the ikon for my computer to the A-diskette station and changed
the HTML-script so I am able to use (read) the diskette.
I did not investigate this strange behavior of the desk top but IIRC a
question on this topic was sent to the list.
But I had so much to learn about arachne -and I still am- :-}
Laurie, do you happen to be a HAM too?
