Select Arrange. : Assuming you do a proper Shutdown (mouse button two on the desktop : background to bring up that menu), your icon positions should be saved. I tried this, and it doesn't work for me. Selecting inside the folder with button 2 creates the dashed circle within the window boundaries, and pops up the menu. I select Arrange, and the icons are arranged. I then close the folder. If I open it again, the icons are unarranged as before. The window *does*, however, retain the screen position and size it had before being closed. Also, I do shutdown properly, but this has no effect on the icon arrangement problem.. -- Brian Ross bross@sandcastle.cosc.brocku.ca
