Thank you.

The beauty of ROX is that it is light and quick.  I like it that way.  It=
's
also incredibly easy to extend it to do things (like create the URL objec=
ts
the original poster craves).

Just make yourself an App Directory for whatever URL you want, and script=
 it
to your heart's content.

Granted, it would be nice if ROX worked nicely with Mozilla's drag/drop...

One of the neat things I do with rox is to have it change the icon of
subfolders for other computers on my network to indicate whether any of t=
hem
are currently mounted via samba or NFS, for example.=20
