Thanks Ted, you're a star, I'll give it a go.  And the chap from the shop is
looking into my scanner problem for me too, so fingers crossed before I
introduce my new beast to the flower-bed outside! (big grin). 


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

Jackie,
I'm not sure about the system tray, but Win 7 has a handy feature, which
allows you to pin programmes to the task bar.  Select the thing you want,
and open the context menu,, and choose "pin to taskbar".  To open the
programme, hold down the windows key, and press no. 1, 2 or whatever.  You
can unpin the same way.

Putting shortcuts on the desktop is the same as in XP.  Context menu again,
then "send to", then desktop.

HTH, Ted.
