Paul, if you do not have the drawers unsnapshotted, when you go to run update drawers, all the drawers will have the same exact spot encoded in the .info file that is copied. By unsnapshotting them you save yourself some hassle down the road since Workbench will dutifully note the fact and place them wherever they fit best. For most people this is not an issue. You can easily run around to every directory and do a cleanup followed by an snapshot all. I have 2,500 directories, so…<grin>. Actually, the unsnapshot should occur before you update your drawers using the provided script. You should also do the same with any default icons just as a matter of form. Furthermore, if you do use Find, or someother program, to hunt down and replace all your .info files for various project files, those should be unsnapshot before doing so. The recommendation for a disk reorganizer, especially one that will place the .info files together, is that it will speed up the rendering of the drawers whenever you open them. Rather than force workbench to look all over the hard disk for the .info files, if they are all in one small area, you speed up the opening of drawers. It can be quite a significant speedup if you have 20 or so files in one drawer. There are several good ones that I've grown to trust in the libraries as well as the commercial ones. I hope this helps. Brian
