all already done except for "killing" active desktop, which i don't know how to do (AD is a part of my W2k and was installed with it). Apparently I have the same problem with some icons in the start menu Edit: It's strange, now it works. But I noticed 2 other bugs: -when you select an icon with alpha shadow on the desktop, and then deselect it (by clicking anywhere), the shadow becomes darker. If you do that 5 or 6 times, the shadow will be completely black (pic 2). This can be corrected by clicking on the desktop link in the taskbar, or by moving the icon (but moving an icon makes all other icon's shadows become dark). -when I load Windowblinds, the grey explorer icons become "grey holes" (pic 1)
