Somewhere, not long ago, I read an article about how a thoroughly cluttered desktop can cause problems. If you have lots of folders and items on the desktop it said for every item on the desktop it's like a window open. Eventually the computer slows down, to the point of spinning beach ball quite often. This was in December when I read the article. Well, it actually happened similar to that here in our school district. What I'm trying to do is find the article. I thought I had it bookmarked, but I can't find it anywhere! Does anyone recall hearing of this? Or was I just dreaming and the dream was so good I thought I was there? :) Nanc
