Mike! Mike! Mike!

You CLEARLY must work for Microsoft!!! You CANNOT seriously think that
Microsoft is not to blame here! Everyone in the world knows that Microsoft
is populated by screwups! They deserve the "shots" for this and other gems
such as WIA interface (ARRRRRG!), OE6 folder column idiocy, OE6 no print
preview, "critical updates" that suddenly cause ones computer to henceforth
refuse to power down!! I could go on but, what's the point!!!

Please note... there was NO WARNING of any kind that this icon
re-positioning would happen!!! I don't know where you think that warning
you indicate came from but is certainly is NOT from Tweak UI!!! ):O|

I posted this *WARNING* in the event that someone else might see it BEFORE
they try to use Tweak UI to do this sort of thing! I have since reorganized
my Desktop (again), thank you very much, but it is a lot of work and I
should not have had to do it!
