Michael, In addition to Raul's method for this particular, you may find it easier to open the folder which holds the desktop icons/shortcuts. then, you can copy/paste just as you would in any folder.
To do this choose the address edit box in a windows explorer window, or choose the run dialog from the start menu, and type in %UserProfile% as the directory name. This will open a top level directory for your user profile, and you should find a directory named Desktop in there. That should then allow you to manipulate the desktop icons easily. hth, Chip ------------------------------ Chip Orange Database Administrator Florida Public Service Commission [email protected] (850) 413-6314 (Any opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Florida Public Service Commission.) > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Massey [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Sunday, January 25, 2009 11:25 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Windows Vista Desktop > > Hi all!
