I've had a similar problem on my iBook, but I also get the problem that at certain times 3 or 4 of the icons duplicate themselves!!! so I really run out of room up there fast. Guess I have to pay attention to when this happens. Where do you go to set what appears there? Could I check to see if there are duplicates? Joan On Saturday, January 18, 2003, at 04:01 AM, Pat D.
