Sorry, I'm in digest mode so if someone's already posted this fix, I didn't see it. I was browsing around the Mac Web for an unrelated problem when I found a website that mentioned rebuilding the desktop in OS X. The actual link for it is: http://macsupport.about.com/library/weekly/aa062501a.htm
Basically, go to your home directory, then the Library folder, then the Preferences folder. In there should be 3 files, LSSchemes, LSClaimedTypes and LSApplications. I just trashed them and rebooted the computer and magically all the submenus started working again. Of course, I don't know what else I managed to reset in the process, so... =) ---------------------------------------------------- None that I'm aware of. Your problem sounds strange. I've never heard of such problem. I would imagine that somehow the preference panes file types have been somehow corrupted. Preference panes appear as "System Preferences" documents. Somehow, they're not seen anymore by the system as being those documents. If you do an "Info" on a preference pane in /System/Library/PreferencePanes, does the system report them as "Mac OS X Preference Pane"? -Laurent. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
