Hi there...as I understand this it cannot be done with the HD or external drives until Leopard is released.  \n\nHere's a forum discussing about this too: http://forums.macnn.com/94/gui-customization/308380/how-i-lock-desktop-icons/

shutdown the computer by holding in the power button about 30 seconds. there are gears that control the movement of the tray of the cd rom, if it doesnt work after restarting just buy a new one they are not economical to repair

Why, some programs fail to save information on shutdown, anyway try this , go to start > run > type MSCONFIG \npress enter a program will start\n\nchoose Selective Startup\n\nchoose the startup TAB\n\nyou will see the yahoo desktop executable, Uncheck it\nyou can tell from its name, or its folder name if the EXE isnt clear enough it will be something with Yahoo in it(in the folder)\n\nClick OK\n\nIt will ask for restart , restart the machine, when it will first start it will show you a pop up screen, with a check not to show again, check that \n\ngood luck

I know of a way, but I woult not even bother to tell you that, unless to get points here.\n\nIts very dangerous to mess with those system files. You might screw up the system. It was a little safe with Windows 95/98 and the ME, but now with XP I never tried it but can expect results to be devastating if something goes wrong.\n\nhttp://www.theeldergeek.com/change_text_on_xp_start_button.htm

It seems really weired to Put the shutdown button in the Start Menu. I feel the start menu is to start every thing...including the "shutdown process"... and also it is more safe to put the shutdown butto there than to put it anywhere on the Desktop.. Just think about it!!!

Open up your start menu or where you will find your explorer icon and left click but hold it and drag it to you desktop and then release and you should then have your shortcut icon back

Hi Friend....Pls do this setting on your computer....right click on  your desktop and go to properties....then click on screen saver....and then in that window you will have a option like "power" click on it and you will directly go to the power schemes...there you willh have options...1)turn off monitor...select the time the monitor should turn off...when ur idle.\n2)turn off hard disks....select never\n3)System stand by....select as never.....\nthe problem with your system is that ur harddisk is getting turned off...when u go into sleep  mode....just select these options and you will not face that problem again....Cheers....Hope this solve your problem.

Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE until ur computer restarts. \nDon't open the icons from the desktop if the problem persists. Open them from Windows Explorer (Start, Programs)
