Managing Shadows
There are several ways to create a shadow. One way is to select the target object and choose "Create Shadow" from its context menu. The desktop then prompts with a dialogue box allowing the user to specify where the shadow should be created**. Another way is to employ drag-and-drop to create shadows, holding down the shift and control modifier keys whilst dragging.
- the dialog box opens initially with a view of currently opened folders on the "Opened" Tab (page) of the dialog, first of which is the current Desktop folder, allowing direct selection of the destination. There are a further 4 Tabs for "Related", "Desktop", "Drives" and "Path", this latter allowing textual path specification including drive(volume), whereas the other three options display an expandable hierarchical tree of folders to select from.
