	When I first installed System 7b4 on my classic, I got a dialog
saying that it was "rebuilding the desktop file" with a status bar showing
progress. I thought that system 7 eliminated the need for a desktop file
due to the new desktop manager. Could someone explain the distinction 
between the new and old versions of the desktop? And, I guess as a side
note, how does the desktop folder fit into all of this?

Thanks alot,

Dan Weisman
