Default How much space for WIndows ME Install

Yeah, that is pretty much what I do too, Mike. Sharing the desktop is
a thought, though. Makes perfect sense doesn't it, if sharing OSes.
Glad you mentioned that - now that the footie's ended I'm bored!


Shane,

There is one very small adverse side effect you should be aware of if you
relocate the desktop from its default location. Due, I ASSume to a weird
bug of some sort, regardless of the OS, if the desktop is moved from its
default location for some inexplicable reason image files (and just
possibly others as well) on the desktop, but nowhere else, open a lot
slower in Image viewer or whatever. You can test this for yourself, by
comparing the speed of displaying a jpg when located a) in say D:\Desktop
and when b) either located in D:\Desktop\Folder or C:\Docs &
Settings\[user]\desktop or C:\Windows\desktop.

Thinks, not now certain that this is true of Win 9x and not able to
compare on a real m/c as my old Win9x box is currently powered off (long
story that doesn't warrant explanation g).
