Just as an aside, if you have multiple icons (including PC cards, partitions, external drives etc) that you always want in a specific order -- like I do <g> -- you can use an AppleScript in your startup file that will put everything in order automatically when you boot/re-boot. (How's that for a run-on sentence??) I have a script that I have been using for several years (I picked it up, I didn't create it), but it's pre-OS X. If anyone is interested in it, I can either email it or post it so that someone could modify it for us with OS X AppleScript. Bob -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
