Hi, Marilyn - Well, Hailley's statement isn't 100% correct. If you have downloaded programs on your desktop, when you press the DEL key, you'll actually delete the entire program, not simply an icon, so you need to be careful. What I do is perhaps a bit more techie, but it's really the only safe way:
If something really _is_ a program and not simply an icon, I open the C-drive, open the Documents and Settings folder, open the folder with my account name on it, open the Desktop folder, and move the program files somewhere else. I have a folder called Internet Downloads where I store all of my downloads, but occasionally, something will get placed on the desktop by accident, so I'll move it from C:\Documents and Settings\Walt\Desktop to C:\Internet Downloads. Hope this helps clarify things. By the way, if you do press the DEL key on something on the desktop, it should identify it in the pop-up confirmation message as an icon, a file, or whatever, so you _should_ receive some warning in advance, but I'd be just a little leery trusting this too much. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marilyn Walker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com> Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 3:30 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] question: deleting desktop items Hi, everyone: my desktop has about 60 items on it so how do I cut items without having them disappear forever? It seems that there is a lot of stuff that is already on my start menu but I don't want to zap anything major.
