Perris- I let Meisch know that we were posting his trick and gave him the url. He checked it out and joined the forum today. He will be a great addition to the forum. He has some awesome stuff.

I wasn't inferring he originally developed it just that he found it and I copied it, evidently to some members enjoyment.

When all is said and done I actually prefer the control panel shortcut I put on my quick launch bar...
It's one of those tips/tricks that on the surface is cool but it's actual value....

just my thoughts

I agree, Buck...here's a funny thing...I can't get rid of it...I haven't looked to far into this, as i'm keeping it in both places...but it is interesting that I can't uncheck the list option

update...today the uncheck took...strange

Buck-After about two days of using it I think I agree with you. I am having trouble locating what I want because the icons are so small, and that is what I usually zero in on.

Kind of like when I first got my puter and downloaded a zillion screensavers.
