I had not verified that the folder was empty because I did not want to 
open the folder and thereby make a .DS_Store file in the folder and 
jepourdise the integrity of the Temp Incoming folder.  I downloaded 
"Betterfile" a non OSX invisible file application and sure enough there 
were three files in the folder but no .DS_Store file.

When I opened the folder the 3 files are visible (dated 1/25, 1/25 and 
yesterday) and with Temp Reader all I see is: "end of header" & "end of 
message", so I presume these are pretty useless files.  

Having opened the Temp Incoming folder I have now deleted the folder.  I 
will see if it still causes the problem on 1st startup as the files did 
not seem to affect CE after the first startup from 9.1 as I had been 
using it fine for a few weeks without restarting.  The crash on 1st 
restart did not affect me until I restated from Mac OS 9.1 using 
XPostFacto because Startup Disk does not work when restarting from 9.x 
into OSX on unsupported Macs.

The 9.1 system Folder I use is virtually identical to the Classic System 
Folder because the Classic System Folder was a duplicate of the 9.1 but 
upgraded to 9.2.2 so i doubt this is a problem in light of the experience 
detailed above.

Thanks for the pointer Chris.
