The folder you seek is the "Desktop Mac OS 9" folder that gets installed with OS X to allow access to the icons there were on the DT in OS 9. This seemed to disappear in 10.2 altogether. Don't have a specific answer for you, except to say don't mess with the invisible file. It's not a solution to your problem. --- end of quote --- Somehow, the os 9 Desktop Folder, which should be visible in certain file views, amd has always been visible in osX so I could access files in it, was made really invisible by my attempts to run 10.3 on my Beige.
You could find and use the files on the os 9 Desktop by using Find in X, but even resedit couldn't see the folder. Image browsers like Olympus Camedia and Canon's Browser, which needs to see that folder and could before, can't see it. The only way I can see it is to make hidden files visible using TinkerToy in osX, but it still can't be accessed. Last night I found a shareware program called Ghost Hunter that is supposed to find invisible files and can make them visible. Haven't tried it yet. By the way, I finally got 10.3 up and running on my Beige. It was a trial, but I think it will be OK. Thanks for your response, Rich -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
