Hi John: Ok, I got it to work. What I was missing is that apparently the shortcut has to also remain in the original folder. Seems very strange. Anyway, now the problem is that I can’t delete the first alius folder I made from the desktop. I clicked on remove from sidebar but that didn’t accomplish anythin. I have deleted the folder in question from where it was made. I hope this makes sense, the only problem now is deleting the first alius from my desktop.
