Hi yardbird, If you want to put your Favorites folder on your desktop and assign a shortcut key; do the following: find your Favorites folder on your hard drive Mine is at: C:\Documentss and Settings\compaq_Owner\Favorites When you find the favorites folder, right click, and then right arrow on the send to function, and then hit send to Desktop. When your Icon shows on the desktop, it may say "Shortcut to Favorites" But you can change the name of the Icon by: right click on the Icon, and hit Rename, and take the "Shortcut To" part off and just leave "Favorites" Once the Favorites Icon is on your desktop, you can access the folder with the icon from the desktop and you can also: right click on the Icon, go into properties, and set your shortcut combination keys Hope this helps, Marvin -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
