    Quick question, maybe a dumb one. Could I just delete un-install drop box desktop icons be back to normal? I'm thinking of just getting a flash drive and backing it up on one of those. This drop box thing is killing me, its not letting me delete things, I'm starting to get cluttered with all these things I keep downloaded and seem to not work. But it honestly might be a "user" problem, which sucks because I'm really bad with this stuff.

    :)

    Dropbox folder question

    before when I install dropbox there's this icon below in the desktop which allows me in GMAIL to attach files inside the dropbox from desktop. (there were that icon and also the dropbox.exe icon)

    http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&h...art=0&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:15,s:0&tx=45&ty=43

    I've just reinstalled windows and the dropbox folder is gone but the dropbox.exe is still there. When I try to attach files from the dropbox in GMAIL, I cant, because if I try to open the dropbox, GMAIL would just attach the whole .exe file

    Please help

    Thanks
