-=PCTechTalk=- Re: flying window icon

O.K. Cosmic, Clint, and Hank--I hear you loud and clear!  And learned
something new today as well.  I just now went to drag it back to the desktop
and, lo and behold, there was another of the little "buggers" already on my
desktop.  Now I am going to zip and send to you Cosmic.
Thanks to all.
Sandi
