Try deleting the contents of the Cache folders - usually works for
me (if you can access them). You will most likely need to boot from
another device though... Easy enough if you have another Mac and a
FireWire cable!

There are three Cache folders in OSX.
Macintosh HD/System/Library/Caches
Macintosh HD/Users/*user*/Library/Caches
and
Macintosh HD/Library/Caches.
Move the contents of any of these folders to the trash (no need to

are safe
And firewire connection!!!

Of course I mean move the com.apple.finder.plist out of your Wife's
Library/Preferences, not yours as your Account doesn't have the
problem only your Wifes User Account ;-)

Hi Bob,
First off, whatever approach you try, if you have an up-to -the -minute
back-up then losing the wife's folders and files shouldn't be a worry. If
you haven't then I'd be looking at doing that as a first priority.
