Thanks again -- maybe I'll do that just for fun. What I meant was I don't really care that enough that the backgrounds be transparent to actually click on something each time to make them so, and to have another shortcut cluttering my desktop or start menu .... I'm a clean freak, I like to see a nearly nekkid desktop. But I do like to learn how to do things, so now I'll just have to experiment with this anyway, even if I only end up using it once. :)
