While we are at it, Mike, you can also set the size of the icons ( I have a slew sitting there always : documents, weather, my .mac calendar and mail- which I consult daily) and you can set the typing under or to the right of the icons in different sizes and have the icons sit like little soldiers either according to alphabet, size or kind. I try to limit myself to not more than can show up in one line from top to bottom . For more I keep a "catch-all" folder until I can clean up things.
