Smokey,
Some new info to consider using.
menu->desktop->desktop settings->desksetup
Make desksetup -
Desksetup Templates for Desk Icons
If you have a very busy desktop this is a good way to tidy it up, however, when you select Traditional - full desktop icons, only the default icons seem to return. Any that you had manually added previously will have to be re-added.
Change this info to read:
If you have a very busy desktop this is a good way to tidy it up.
If you have added or changed anything on desktop and want to go back to that look later on, make a custom copy.
To make custom copy:
Before any other selections.
Select
click this button to save your custom arrangment.
To use the custom copy:
Select
custom - choose your saved profile
when you select
Traditional - full desktop icons, only the default icons will return.

What Puppy are you using?

It does seem to be very sensitive to how you double left mouse click.
For me it needs to be a very quick double click.

Excellent help file and an easy read - many thanks for your efforts. This feature would be helpful for most breeds of puppy.

The attached may not be perfect but it should be of significant help to new comers.
I have not used any graphics in an effort to keep the file size down but I have used a lot of Internet links.
I guess it could be described as an interactive tutorial.
The help file installs to /usr/share/doc and it can be executed from Menu Item Documents.

I will install it right away, thx

Just wondering whether it's possible to have the download as a pdf file or other so that we can study it before we get puppy running.
Regards

Windows can't open the file because of the .gz. Just above your help file is a Installing Puppy PDF. It would be great if you could add a Beginners Help PDF at the same location. I feel like I really need it before I try and load anymore puppies.
Thanks

That's why I wrote "remove extension .gz".
That means: rename it to anything
.html
Every (internet capable) operating system knows how to open a html file.

Rename the original file from .ncd to .html. The file is actually a html file. You can export it to .pdf from your browser if you wish.

Hi smokey,
I've tried renaming the file with no success. I don't export files to pdf. I guess as soon as I get a puppy running and my browser working I'll open the pet and save it as a pdf then. I still think you shouldn't put a pet file on a windows based forum.

Hi frerom,
I cannot help you
how to rename a file in windows because I do not have windows.
I do not think that this forum is a windows based forum. It is a worlwide web forum based on html (or htm for windows users).
My regards
EDIT
Why don't you just install
NoteCase in your operating system
