Mike, Hop to VersionTracker.com. Search for MacJanitor. Download, extract and run. Click the "Click to allow tasks" button, enter your administrative password, then click "All Tasks". You should be set. Another utility that is also free and can do that maintenance, and more, is Onyx. -Laurent. -- ======================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************ Usual disclaimers apply *********************** -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
