My XP Desktop is 'Cluttered' with Shortcuts.   
      
   I use DiskMedia to create a Shortcut Icon on the Desktop when I load   
   a CD that is in the Tray so I can click on the Shortcut to Open the   
   disk, instead of having to first open Windows Explorer or My Computer.   
      
   DiskMedia also shows USB devices when I insert them in a USB slot.   
      
   For a long time I have noticed that when a Shortcut icon for a drive   
   shows up on the Desktop it isn't put directly below the last one in   
   the column to the Right.   
      
   There is a Blank Space where an Icon should be and the Drive Shortcut   
   appears just below that Blank Space.   
      
   I know ALL ABOUT Blank Spaces, there is one above my mouth.   
      
   I can Right-Click and put a Check Mark on Auto Arrange, and I next   
   remove the Check Mark because I want to arrange things the way I want.   
      
   When I do that the new Drive Icon moves up to the Blank Spot.   
      
   I have looked at what files are in Documents and Settings....Desktop   
   for my Users Account AND for the ALL USERS Account.   
      
   Every file name is in those listings has a Shortcut on the Desktop.   
      
   The list doesn't have entries for My Computer and the Recycle Bin IIRC,   
   but I figure those icons come from Windows\System32 or some such.   
      
   Computers Are Fun!   
      
   ... I typed "FORMAT COM1" and killed a telephone operator!
