Randy, I used and like OnyX and still have it installed. The thing I like better about Macaroni is that is does it's work automatically and I could not figure out how to do that with OnyX. I would like to have a script for Macaroni to tell it to trash the Safari Icon folder on a regular basis. Anyone have a script for this? I need a name for the log file too. All this is kind of over my head. Birgit On Apr 1, 2004, at 10:07 PM, Randy B.
