For instance when you delete stuff it auto-magically goes into the "trash" folder. When you right click on it one of your choices is "Empty Trash". So I'm pretty certain it's not just a folder. -- Mark "If you have found a very wise man, then you've found a man that at one time was an idiot and lived long enough to learn from his own stupidity." ============================================== Powered by CentOS5 (RHEL5)
