I can't save the test.ly to the public desktop, even when logged in as administrator (weird), so I can't test the double-click there. Wherever I can double-click, it works. So, dragging to the icon works in 2.18.2 on user desktop, but not 2.19.36. I won't have acces to Win 7 for a few days, but will confirm that then. Paul
