Custom Desktop Folders

[Ray]

Mark  -  thanks for these tips but I'm afraid I'm not quite following you.

Should the text file have any text in it?  Which folder should I save it 
in?  And finally, how do I set the settings you've outlined from within 
Livecode?  I guess these things are delving into an area of Livecode 
I've never used.

Thanks,

Ray
