My solution is to use the free downloadable application "Emailer Cleanup" (Google that and you'll find the Web site) with the applicable extensions checked. It doesn't run automagically -- at least I =think= it doesn't; I have it open with [EMAIL PROTECTED] and use it as I think of it -- and it keeps the downloads folder happily empty. (I just looked, and it reports 1,429 files deleted since I last cleared it to start recounting.) -- Selah! BWms -= "I had expected a Windows-style confirmation of success, but Macs don't prompt you when something's gone right, such as plugging in a disk or setting up a wireless router. They just silently incorporate it. That's a major difference in approach: Windows thinks it's a surprise worth telling you about when something works. A Mac doesn't." =- ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
