Hey!
I have run into a problem that is driving me nuts!
I delete some files/etc on my desktop and for some reason an automatic copy
is being made, so that the file will NOT go away :-0
I tried to delete through a folder, holding the control, but I now have
dozens of copies on my desktop...
Can anyone tell me how to fix this setting/problem?

Randy
