Desk accessories
Now it's time to add some desk accessories to our collection. A desk accessory is a program that can be loaded from the deskTop and it can also be loaded from within many applications. In other words, you don't neccessarily have to exit out of an application to run a desk accessory. They are typically small in size and there are many available. What we have here is just a small sampling of what's available elsewhere.
Let's start by grabbing the desk accessories that should be located on our boot disk. These particular desk accessories set up the look and feel of your GEOS system, so it makes sense that you would want them on your boot disk. Use Convert 2.5 on these and then copy them to your boot disk.
