Hey,

I'm searching for an solution wich helps persons with a very crowded desktop. It wil provide ca. 9 desktops wich each separate icons. I want to let the original desktop withstand and just provide a stack with wich you can switch to alternate desktops. But I will have to find a way to distract the path to the icon from a link file wich is pulled into the window. I want to know two things:
1) How do I distract the icon from the shortcut file
2) How do I recognize if someone pulles a file into the window just like when someone pulls a file onto the desktop and it appears there.

Hoi Nr13,

1) the aliasReference function
2) read everything about drag and drop

Éric Chatonet has a tutorial on his site about d&d, which you might find useful. See http://www.sosmartsoftware.com/ .

Best,

Mark
