When you shut windows down, it then saves your nice and neat desktop = settings. If you don't shutdown properly or the system crashes, you can loose all = the nice settings. -----Original Message----- From: Pic Dude [mailto:picdude@AVN-TECH.COM] Sent: 24 June 2002 17:01 To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: [OT]: Windows 2000 oddity... I have all the entries in my W2k Start/Programs menu laid out nice and alphabetically (yes, you can say "anal-retentive") so that it's easy to find. However, I've noticed that Windows takes it upon itself to shuffle some of these around once in a while for no apparent reason, and w/o my prior explicit written permission. Anyone know why this occurs and how to stop it? Cheers, -Neil. -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
