I tried the "shexview" download and none of the listed examples worked. If I
click on the "Create New Folder" option while I'm in any folder (ex. My Doc)
I get the hourglass again and then everything resets. The taskbar disappears
momentarily and, one-by-one, everything comes back as if I restarted except I
don't lose any info and I'm still online (if I was online to begin with.)
