I've ben jsut navigating to my documents hitting entder and then back spacing out of it. now I just have to find the desktop shortcut and hit enter once. This is way cool! SA&G : Hello Kirby and Mike : : Well ...... : - although I agree you cannot technically arrange the Desktop in : list view : you can get the same effect fairly easily. :: Simply press windows key and E to open Explorer. : Press Home to go to Desktop in Tree View : Press Tab once to go into folder pane and you will be able to : navigate the : Desktop like any folder in list view. : This works fine but another approach is to set a shortcut to a list : view : Desktop on the actual Desktop. : Again press Windows and E to open Explorer. : Press Home to go to Desktop : Press Control and C to Copy : Press Windows plus D to move to the Desktop : Press Application Key : Navigate to Paste Shortcut : : You will now have a shortcut to the Desktop on the Desktop which will : open : the Desktop in List view. : So om my computer to access the Desktop in list view I press windows : plus D, : then D again and pressing Enter opens the Desktop in list view. I : find this : much easier to navigate and edit than the actual Desktop. : : If you have other Desktop items beginning with D you might have to : cycle : through these or you can rename the Desktop shortcut to something : else to : get a different letter to start. : : You will of course have to have your Explorer windows set to list : view for : this to work. I think it has been already explained how to do this : but let : me know if you need help Kirby. : : Regards : : David Griffith : : Message: 2 : Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2007 15:41:58 -0400 : From: "Michael Grattan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] desktop : To: <[email protected]> : Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" : : Hello Kerby, : Unfortunately Windows does not allow you to place the items on your : desktop : into a plain list view.
