Free application helps keep icons in their place

Over the past 6 weeks I’ve tried to encourage you to begin a backup regimen. Not because I enjoy nagging you, but because I know if you do not there’ll come a day when you’ll wish you had.

By demonstrating how with just a minimum of effort and an inexpensive backup program you can protect yourself from the loss of irreplaceable data due to a virus, hard drive failure or perhaps as I have more than once, from kittens on your keyboard, should you not heed my advice, I’ll feel comfortable responding to your "woe is me" e-mail with an - I told you so.

That said, I’ll switch to a more light hearted subject. The care and maintenance of Desktop icons.

I’ve always been a Desktop icon junky. My unbridled addiction to those cute little Desktop graphics has always been a source of amusement even ridicule from those who use my computer(s).

At one time or another I’ve considered installing a program that would expeditiously hide my Desktop icons should I hear someone sneaking up behind me for a pre ridicule peak at my Desktop, pepper spraying uninvited interlopers and even subjecting myself to an Desktop icon intervention.

But alas, I am who I am and do not plan on changing. Particularly now that I’ve a 24 inch monitor that’ll display almost an unlimited number of Desktop icons.

By publically confessing my addiction, I hope there are Good Booters who will feel less self conscious about their Desktop icon addiction.
