Everybody seemed to enjoy last week's Toolbar tweaks... and a handful of you called my attention to another variation on the theme. If you have IE4/5 (with Active Desktop) installed on Windows 9x, right-click on your Taskbar, select 'Toolbars,' then 'Desktop.' You should see a new toolbar appear in your Taskbar; left-click where it says 'Desktop' and drag it all the way to the right (towards your System Tray) until you see just the word 'Desktop' and a couple of small right-pointing arrows. Left-click on those arrows, and you'll get a menu of all the items currently sitting on your Desktop, plus cascading menus for every component and folder on your computer. This one's definitely a keeper!
