RE: Playground files cleaned up

I finally found it (I think) and now it was extremely slow, possibly even
slower than usual. This time I simply clicked on playground notebook on the
desktop and logged in as a new user, but maybe this wasn't the right trick
either?

  I double clicked on the ".cty"-files (as new user both times) and they
loaded ok, although I couldnt find the anima gadgets-notebook anywhere. I
thought they where an important part of the playground notebook, or did I do
something wrong?

    I logged in to TT with username Playground2001X (is this the correct way
to
    use these new files?) and it took a long time to load and finally got to
the
    helicopter which just froze...
