Other File Managers work differently, I think Thunar may be more straightforward, not sure, though. Maybe this will all pass soon enough, but for now, on one of my machines, especially, I have to reboot frequently. If it's hal that is at work, then perhaps I can restart that? But when I did something similar, the window manager, at least, restarted. Thanks again, Alan
