On my ArcaOS system, you can right click on an object and        KN> "Create Shadow" and it will then ask where to place the shadow (to the        KN> Desktop) and then you have a shortcut to that obj on the desktop.                KN> I think object oriented stuff was taken to the extreme on WPS.

And one feature I used a lot was having sort of a "work        KN> folder" and if I opened that folder (filled with shadows), everything        KN> in the folder was opened. I could have a "BBS" folder, with telnet,        KN> multimail and dos shell "shadows" and when I opened it, all those        KN> would open up.               I tried that on a Seamonkey web browser executable and it worked, but       when I clicked on the icon, it just opens the Properties dialog box.       Then I was reminded of that issue to. I have the Seamonkey executable in       a folder and when I click on it, it just opens the properties dialog       box, it doesn't actually execute the program. What's up with that?
