Hi Folks I've bin truckin' along mindin' MOB when I discovered that the HD Icon on my Desktop [10.1.5 on a Titanium] which used to a pretty picture of an Hard Drive has grown 4 parallel stripes ... Anyone know wots happened and how to get rid of them...they arrived after I downloaded a copy of BBEDit 7 to try out...quelle horreur !! :) many txs Richard
