Actually, this does not sound familiar at all.  With Windows, all your
applications are grouped together in the Program Manager.  Any application
you want to run is sitting right there already, with all the datafiles, etc
nicely tucked out of view.  A much more efficient arrangement than the
Mac Finder, I think.

In response to your inquiry, there are several programs for ftp from
cica.cica.indiana.edu that will do what you want, including Usher and Backmenu.
These pop up when you click once on the desktop, not when you innocently move'
your pointer into some "hot spot".  I find this to be an annoying feature
of On Cue.

Lastly, in the future please put posts concerning Windows on comp.windows.ms,
NOT in this group.
