I forget what OOo does. Other (windows) software often has a set of tick boxes for where shortcuts should go - start menu (and pick a group name), desktop, 'quick launch' toolbar. One thing I /hate/ with a vengeance is software that plasters its shortcuts everywhere without asking. There's always the hassle of checking whether that cluttering desktop shortcut is unique, or whether it's just a copy of what's on the start menu (and I have seen cases where is was indeed unique). -- Permission for this mail to be processed by any third party in connection with marketing or advertising purposes is hereby explicitly denied. http://www.scottsonline.org.uk lists incoming sites blocked because of spam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
