 KN> I could be wrong, but I believe what you have to do is create a

 KN> "Create Shadow" and it will then ask where to place the shadow (to the
 KN> Desktop) and then you have a shortcut to that obj on the desktop.

I tried that on a Seamonkey web browser executable and it worked, but
when I clicked on the icon, it just opens the Properties dialog box.
Then I was reminded of that issue to. I have the Seamonkey executable in
a folder and when I click on it, it just opens the properties dialog
box, it doesn't actually execute the program. What's up with that? LOL
