Each day I lasso all the icons and move them up, then place the my computer icon
near bottom of screen, lasso all icons and move them all down, whereupon the my computer
icon dissapears below the bottom of the screen. However, as the previous poster
mentioned, you need to do this each day. I discovered this morning that if you move
all the icons down so that the my computer icon is just showing a sliver of itself
(a few pixels of the top), that it will stay in that position each time you boot
up.
Next year the UN is convening to see if an easier solution to the my computer icon
can be thrashed out, and Bush is even considering sanctions against Bill until he
makes that icon more user friendly. Imagine how many man hours have been wasted
on this.
