Is there some way to TURN OFF the "are you sure you wanna" messages I get for just about everything I do in Tiger? YES, I want to download the file, YES, I want to empty the trash, YES, I want to shut down the bloody annoying machine ... otherwise I wouldn't have typed in the command! Am I getting strident here? Sorry. But I feel like I'm in a Remedial Mac class ... "Are you SURE you want to turn off the idiotic messages?" YES! Shutting up now ... Teddi
