Thanks. I thought maybe you were suggesting a procedure for reseting
things or something, but that didn't accomplish that. What I'm
looking for is a way to ensure that when I open the desktop--as a
*toolbar*, not as the desktop per se--I only see the shortcuts that I
put there, and not the things that I didn't put there, don't want to
see there, and consider clutter (Computer, User’s files, Network,
Recycle Bin, Control Panel, IE icon). I figure it probably involves
messing with the registry, but I get a little skittish about the idea
of trying out "brain surgery" ideas until I get lucky and get things
right.
Or a way to send folder shortcuts to a user-defined toolbar using
nothing more complicated than a right-click.
