Some General observarions on TOS1.4

1. you done need foldrnnn at all with tos1.4. Its not supposed to be fatal,
but you'll do better without it.

2. I found that it is absolutely necessary to REMOVE desktop.inf and reboot
before doing a save desktop.  There are incompatibilities between how 1.1
organized it and 1.4.  

Assuming that you do not have a Supre/ICD problem in their drivers 
I recommend 2.
