To surmise and muse: The concept of viewing several icons and symbiotic links

on the Desktop at once, is truly possible with Launchpad. Perhaps the issue here

remains with ineffectual asking; and not the supply of various workable ideas??


There is an Apple Support community topic ..that I've never cited.. within

the User help constructs: Which suggests, 'How to ask' effective questions.


This indeed qualifies as an 'undisciplined' attempt to identify an issue.


While distant non-apple 'uncompensated volunteers' who try; merely

are users like you. Some with more studious background; others, less.
