I did as you said but it has made no difference to my desktop even after logging out and back in. Still covered in all the rubbish from my home directory. I need to set the desktop to show the shortcuts that are in my ~/Desktop directory. On F7 there was a utility, under preferences if I remember correctly, that I could run to set this but I cannot find anything on my F8 install. -- Kind regards, Graeme Nichols. ...
