mouse.
MORE INFORMATION
================
You can move a program icon from one program group to another using the
keyboard, but it is not possible to rearrange an icon within the group window
using the keyboard.
Use the following keyboard procedure to move a program icon from one program
group to another:
1. Using the arrow keys, highlight the icon to be moved.
2. Press ALT+F to open the File menu.
3. Press M to choose Move.
4. Press ALT+DOWN ARROW to expand the To-group destination and select the
program group you want to move the icon to.
5. Press ENTER.
To simulate the reorganization of icons within a group:
1. From the Options menu choose Auto Arrange.
2. Create a new group.
3. Copy the icons to the new group (using the F8 key) in the order you want them
arranged.
4. Delete the original icons and group.
5. Rename the new group if desired.
You can also work around this problem by installing the Trace Access Pack for
Windows. You can then use the number pad to control the mouse. For more
information about obtaining the Trace Access Pack for Windows, query on the
following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
