Cripes. This works well. I had tried to remove the dreaded "my computer" icon (which
I had renamed to "her computer," and then Hal, when the bitch left me), many many
times. In fact I've probably spent a couple of hours on this, and all that I was
left with was a white square instead of the stupid picture of a computer. Now I
did what you said and selected all the icons using my mouse to marquee them, and
moved them all down, and presto, the dreaded my computer, her computer, hal icon
is gone. Maybe we should rename it to Bill's computer. Anyway, tomorrow morning
when I boot up, I'll lasso all my normal icons, move them up a couple of inches,
place Bill's computer icon at the bottom of screen, lassoo all the others again and
move them down a couple of inches, then I won't have to see the bloody thing all
day. Thanks for all the extra work Bill. Hope you're sleeping well.
