Bleep! Wrong answer! Have you ever dragged (drug? :-) a folder to the trashcan that was not empty? I do it all of the time, and it work just fine as long as there isn't a folder called ".xxx" in it. To refresh people's memory, there's a bug with TOS1.4 that will not allow you to drag a folder to the trashcan and delete the files if there is a folder in the folder that starts with a "." (ie: .jnk) -Jeff -- Jeff Beadles jeff@onion.pdx.com
