TSGL: Shortcut icon on desktop H. DAVIS

[EDLYNN]

H. Davis -

Pure genius!!! You lit the lamp and showed me the way. DAVIS, be praised!!!

I opened OmniPage at AllPrograms and opened Task Manager. A process called 
Om,niPage.exe was sitting there and gobbling up 24,600Kb. It was not listed 
in the Program File folder, and Start>Run couldn't find it. But I ran a 
Search for it, and thar she was. I tested her out, and sure enough she 
opened the program. The rest was normal, just right-clicking and creating 
the shortcut on the Desktp. A test of the shortcut icon worked perfectly!!!
Pure genius, H Davis, pure genius!!!
I thought that I had tried every trick in the book, but I guess I hadn't.
Let's mark this one down somewhere.

Thank you, H.Davis, thank you.

ED
