Yee) writes: The original Control Panel concept seem like a more natural way to deal with the setting of system parameters than the 7.0 paradigm of clicking on CDev files on the desktop. How about this... Put an alias to the Control Panel folder into the Apple Menu Items folder, and put the Control Panel Folder into View by Name. This will allow you to double-click on them, without the icons being confusing at all! I guess this is another area where a 3rd party company can develop a old style Control Panel DA or application. True, but not necessary... If you REALLY want that functionality, try _Launch & install the Control Panel files into it... I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it works, but it will definitely provide a single "Launching Pad" for them... If it works. :) -=Alan -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alan D.
