    I'm not sure that Windows always comes with a Briefcase. I've got XP Home, and I don't recall ever seeing the Briefcase on it. In fact, I don't remember seeing it since Win98... I'm thinking that it might be something that some OEM's choose to leave off.

    Update:[id://BrowserUK] is correct; I *do* have Briefcase, if I use the Desktop context menu to access it. I think I got confused because older versions of Windows had a Briefcase icon on the Desktop by default. I stand corrected.

      Really? I'm using XP professional configurd by Dell and it is available.

      How about if you bring up the context menu on your desktop and select 'new...'? Don't you have a 'New briefcase' option there?
