Thanks for the help page...I'll try Read-Only for starters and see what happens...but it shouldn't happen in the first place in my little book, at least.

Thanks again.

And for references sake, switching the Web icons to read-only did not prevent them from beling dumped coming out of Safe Mode. Switching to small icons does, but I don't want small icons. Again, why am I fighting Vista (again) here? Stupid and annoying. I will now try creating a custom link, which is a bass-ackwards way of doing it. I send the link to the Desktop for the sake of convenience, not to turn it into a "project" other than assigning an icon.
