Hi Will, Don't know the answer yet, but you've certainly hit on my top W2K annoyance. I suppose now that it's out in the open we "have" to find a solution. Best, Steve

will does this address your situation?.... "The Shorter Route to Shortcuts Creating a shortcut on the Desktop (or in any folder, for that matter) has always been fairly simple: Right-click a blank space, select New, Shortcut , and then enter the shortcut. In the past, this last step usually meant clicking the Browse button and then browsing through folders till you found the item. But Windows 2000 autocompletes paths: Type in C: and you'll get a list of everything in the root directory of C:, including all the first-level folders. Type C:\m and you'll get any file in the root directory starting with M, and all such folders (for example: My Documents and My Photos). The more you type, the narrower the list becomes. This autocomplete feature also works under Start, Run but lists only executable programs and folders." more here in case you're interested... pcworld.com let us know :) mark

Will As I use Win ME I'm not sure if this will work in WK2 but you might try right clicking on your "my" icons and. see if renaming is available. Also this free program allows many neat changes including how the tree in Explorer opens. Ed jockesoft.com

Will About your Explorer question. Before trying this, I'd write down what you're going to change just in case it doesn't work. I do not have win2000 but found this in a forum. "The solution's not obvious. Right-click on your current Windows Explorer shortcut, then choose "Properties". In the "Target" line, enter the following: %systemroot%\explorer.exe /e, /root, /select, [Drive:\Folder] where [Drive:\Folder] is the drive and folder where you want Windows Explorer to show opened (without the brackets). For example, if you want the root folder in the C-drive to be opened, then [Drive:\Folder] would be "C:\", without the quotes. Or, if you wanted a folder called "Word" under "My Documents" on the D-drive to be the one opened, then [Drive:\Folder] would be "D:\My Documents\Word". Does this make sense?"
