Robert,
I don't have a lot of complicated software and don't network. When
in
the UK (which is as complicated as it gets) I see my desktop with all its
CE
folders - that is if I get a decent server, which this last time I didn't
(I went
to British Tel and got my Email but couldn't send!). Never again.
