Anyway, the delay is due to the desktop file being created and also having your home directory show up as a folder on the desktop. (it also looks like your home-directory is MOVED to /... click open the "/" icon, and there you are. You no longer show up under /users or where-ever. If so, this could also be the delay). Anyway, to avoid this delay, login under console mode then do a "mac32" (make sure you have mac32 aliased to "mac32;screenrestore" so when you logout, the screen clears and you're back at the console). -- ======================================================================= #include =:^) Jim Jagielski NASA/GSFC, Code 711.1 jim@jagmac2.gsfc.nasa.gov Greenbelt, MD 20771 "Kilimanjaro is a pretty tricky climb.
