Hi, Thank you for the reply. To make operating easier, I copied the
Documents Icon from Start to my Task Bar, where I also have many others
which are in daily use. However, whichever I click on Documents are
displayed over the whole of my monitor screen, which makes things difficult
when I have to copy/drag files from Folders in Documents onto a CD. Is there
a way of reducing the size of the Documents displayed on the Monitor the
same as one can do with any other Folder?
