I know that this has been asked many times and answered many times, but I have
a few more questions about the Desktop Manager.

1.  Can I delete the original invisible "Desktop" file after installing Desktop
    Manager?

2.  How long should it take to create the new invisible files for Desktop
    Manager to use?  I have about 2000 files in about 85 MB of disk space.
    I guess the drive is about 28 ms access time.  I tried it once, but I left
    it overnight and it didn't finish so I rebooted.  Is something seriously
    wrong?  Is it possibly incompatible with one of my INITs?

I would appreciate it if you could mail me the answers, or just post them in
this group.  Thanks.
