I have been using the Desktop Manager for over a year, on I have a recent copy of the Desktop Manager, and have installed the above fix, but I gave up on using DM because it didn't work invisibly. When I installed it, the icons for the Hypercard stacks and SmartComm configurations I had on my desktop were just the standard "unknown file" icons. It seemed like if I had a window open with the application in it I was fine. Obviously, I was doing something wrong, and I'm sure someone out there can tell me what it was. (On the good side, the fact that this solution didn't work forced me to clean up my disk, which makes backups and desktop file updates go faster.) -- David Elliott dce@Solbourne.COM ...!{boulder,nbires,sun}!stan!dce
