On a sidenote, you can also get rid of some program aliases, that you might
have, off the desktop and stick them on the Apple Menu. This not only cleans
up the desktop, but the programs are then always arranged in alphabetical
order on the menu making them simple to organize. I do this on both my PB
3400c and my Windows PC.
With successful moving, tweaking and deleting, I have managed to have *only*
3 icons on my PC desktop (if you care: My Computer, Trash, and Network
Neighborhood - which if deleted totally screws up the computer so I've left
it there), and 3 on my PowerBook (Macintosh HD, Trash, printer).
BTW, does anybody know how to delete the default Printer icon from the
desktop? I'm running OS 7.6.1 and every time I try to trash the icon my Mac
tells me that there MUST be a Default printer icon there and automatically
puts one back on the desktop. I -really- don't like unnecessary desktop
icons !
