The one I recommended - sorry, I hadn't realised there's an actual desk
called EZDesk, so the software is harder to find. I found a copy at
http://www.5star-shareware.com/Windo...tUtilities/ezd
esk.html
(don't worry about mention of $15: the trial version works for ever; I
actually decided I wanted to pay for it a few years ago as I'd used it
far longer than I should have, but all the real links have gone). And it
does work on 98 - even 95.


Unfortunately the download is gone too. The page is there at the link
you posted, but clicking on the download button brings up another page,
then there is an error saying the download is not there.

Do you have the original install file? If you do, is there some place on
the web you can stick it for downloading? Like a personal website or
something. It's a very small file. 83kb.

%2FDESKTOP%2Flooney%2FTOOLS%2FWINDOWS%2FEZDESK%2FR EADME.TXT
has version 1.7 (78.5 KB)
http://www.brothersoft.com/ezdesk-do...19.html?bottom
has version 1.8 (NOT "Server 1 Official Download" - that's over 3M, so
obviously has PUPs or worse; Server 2 was 85K. Or that was the case just
now)


Thanks

The driverguide one refused to let me download. Their idiotic captcha
said I need to upgrade my browser. I kindly filpped them the bird, used
the best of my collection of F-words and moved on. (I'll add them to my
HOST file later on, so I dont have to waste another 10 min waiting for
their useless site to load).

Server 2 on brothersoft worked fine. I installed it, and like it a lot.
I saved my desktop. Then I intentionally screwed it up my icons. I
clicked Restore and it was all fixed. COOL!!! A Great program! I should
have had this years ago. What i have is ver 1.8 and am using it on
Win98se with Kernel-EX..
