   Question: Is there some utility that will allow me to clean out my desktop
   file WITHOUT losing the GetInfo comments??

   Thanks.


The only program I can think of offhand that will won't lose the
GetInfo comments is DiskExpress (commercial).  I bet there's some way
you could use Resedit to copy out just the Get Info information from
the Desktop and later reinsert it once you've rebuilt the Desktop.

Anyone ever done this?
