I eventually got around that one. I found that I do not want *any* icons on my desktop and switched them off completely. There is an option in the "Sort symbols" function of the desktop. And since then I completely fail to be annoyed by the mess of icons which your average installer will drop on my desktop. Most of them don't even ask whether they should. -- Cheers, haj -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
