| 2 Quit to the Finder or switch to it if you're using MultiFinder.
|
| 3 Now try to find the file "General". It's not there!

Have you checked the General cdev for your Control Panel lately? This
is a file in your System Folder. Sounds like a "Poor Man's Search
Path" problem.
[Disclaimer: This is pure speculation. I have never used, seen, or
owned Applelink.]
