yeahbut, the links are more flexible than tsuwmwn was tsuggesting. You can drag and drop from all over the place ~ YCLIU here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/customizelinks.htm

edit: and just to follow up on dubdub's comment, they are indeed very much like a subset of Favorites... um, because that's what Links are! You can open up your Favorites dialogue at the left margin of the screen, and place any URL you wish into the folder labelled Links, by dragging and dropping from your desttop or from other folders within Favorites...

I don't think so, mickey - it only specifies you can drag and drop from the URL adress bar area.

yrs affectionately,

I think the only thing missing, gaspard, is changing icons, which didn't seem germane to the issue. otherwise, adding links, removing links, rearranging links.. all covered.

with not much bitterness,
-joe (azure) friday

edit: now that I'm forced to think on it, I only told Ww about the rearranging bit in a PM. I didn't think Ms. J could handle that. <G>

Sorry this took so long, but I’m still trying to discover the double or triple pun in TEd’s post. Whatsamadda with azure? Like it not?
Azure may be a good word for the acronym game if you want to make the next one difficult - there are so few z words. My sensitivity to this word arizes from long-ago poetry readings and HS poetry contests. There were too many azures, and many that were heard sounded like, "az-zzoor", as if it were a "foreign" word and its pronunciation was a mystery, or like an exotic bird call. I love the color itself, and I like the way it’s defined better than it. I internally cringe in a similar way when I hear someone summon me by my full name especially with “Mister” as its prefix. But that’s just me.

TEd's puns are sometimes vaguely(!) opaque. but at the time I read it as something akin to "azure like it" (WS).

I'm not drawn to the word 'azure' either, Owl. But I'm sure that someone could use it in such an original and satisfying way that I'd briefly put down my distaste for it.
