OK....I caved in and dl'd/installed these new-fangled thingies.... mainly because I get people pointing and laughing at me when I have 64 icons on my desktop....

There's only so many times you can argue..."it's a flippin' Beta OS install...I'm testing proggies and am not interested in being tidy..."

So now I have only the 'main' system icons staying on the desktop....'games' and 'audio/video' are hidden at a click [or two].

They're kinda neat...

And so is my desktop....so you can stop complaining, OK?...
