343949 2005-04-12 04:27:00 No they are 2 recycle bin etc and games etc.Even if connected it takes a while
to activate the shortcut and sometimes they will not activate.

343950 2005-04-12 04:33:00 Here is what she wrote 2 me:
I have to connect on-line to get the short-cuts on the desk top. i.e. my computer, recycle bin, games.etc. When I am connected it takes a few seconds longer to bring up the program but if I am not connected it freezes. I can't shut down as the start button stays indented and I have no other option but to restart from the restart button on the tower or turn it off at the wall.
