Mmm, my thoughts exactly.  More likely, I think, is that MS has fucked up
on basic usability of the interface.  I don't know of or care what else has
been stuffed in XP, as I can't be bothered 'pushing the envelope' with user
access rights to find out.

If it can't be done with a mouse forget it.  Why have a GUI in the first
place.  May as well just use the old DOS 4.01 Shell and be done with it.

Cheers,
Paul.
