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.
