You may try installing the simple-trash dotpup:

If you just deleted your desktop link, try opening your my-roxapps folder and dragging the trash icon to desktop, if it's still in there.

This is remotely related as the electronic version of throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Friend, I'm just waiting for the day, when I get to advise you to make a fresh install.

But so far you're doing great and read more than the average person new to Puppy.

One thing really nice about most Puppy installations, is they can be done in a few minutes.

I hate to preach like I'm about to do. But one day I hope you learn the value of being a careful worker, but in the meantime, it's obvious you are having a great time - and that has a value in and of itself.

I lost track of the installs :p

I think I've reformatted the partition half-a-dozen times... and I might still have traces of another installation on the partition w/ Win2k, still lol
