I don't get this. I've found myself wishing that I could open the desktop folder in list mode... I'd be able to see what was on my too-crowded desktop without collapsing windows... especially when I wanted to drag something from the desktop into one of those windows. Or perhaps I dropped something too close to the edge of the screen and the finder placed it - hidden - off the edge. It would also have been handy for me when backing up, since I did my back-ups for years without special software. Since the desktop folder is treated specially by the finder, backing up and restoring items on the desktop was sometimes sketchy. I think it would be great if the desktop folder was just treated as a normal folder, except for its special purpose. Roger In America, anybody can be president. That's one of the risks you take. -- Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965) ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
