I must have been asleep on my earlier post. I should have said to check your startup folder not the shutdown folder.
The way that the practical joke works is like this: You put an alias in the startup items folder of something in the shutdown items folder. (possibly a script) Everytime the computer is started up, it automatically invokes the item in the shutdown folder causing it to immediately shut down the computer and...driving the unwitting victim batty in the process. I hope that that's all it is. Best Regards Uncle George for Katie Munker 233 Rev A System 8.1 -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
