Jim, "Already know all this" means ... ? A) already know about this fix, or B) already know how to apply it in Regedit?
On (A), I think the jury is out on this fix solving your problem, until you try it. Unless Wayne cares to provide the source of this recommendation, I haven't found any support for it addressing your specific complaint. But it is a general performance enhancing tweak, and if you are dealing with a lot of desktop icons, it could help. On (B), any use of Regedit, beyond running a .reg file that has been provided, is an Advanced User thing. Average users should stay out of the Regedit GUI - it's too easy to break a system with a typo or accidental deletion. And average users should be very selective about who they accept .reg files from (don't take candy from strangers).

Tell me something: At what level of usage/knowledge should one be (on a scale of 1-10) to already know what you just told me? I appreciate your help and I'm glad there are knowledgable folks to which I can turn, but "should I already know all this"? Why? I'd like to, but how many computer users do? Do I need to feel totally computer illiterate because I don't <smile>? Well, at least you didn't make me feel that way, but sometimes I do!
