I don't believe it myself, but everyonce in a while I have been able to get the finder to update the desktop this way: I double click on the folder that the changed icon is in, and the finder seems to update that folder. It works more often with the system folder. This is very unreliable. It never works when I want it too, but every once in a while it does. Now if its just a bug, I think apple should add it to the finder code. It seems much better than rebuilding the whole desktop of a hard disk, especially if you have files without their creating applications. -- Mahboud Zabetian buzz@phoenix.princeton.edu 183 Little Hall (609) 520-1270 Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544 (609) 734-7760 ****** Anyone need a soon-to-graduate hardware/software engineer? ********
