This totally worked! I just tried it. There's something magical about putting it in the new user's Trash and then wiping out their account. It doesn't work if you leave it in their user folder anywhere; you have to move it to their Trash first. Thanks so much; it's amazing that a fix this...

The Shrine it is. SuperGetInfo won't even let me open the file to look at its properties. Maybe I screwed it up even further by moving it around on my system, who knows. Oh well. Let this be a lesson to all of you with Adobe Photoshop CS2. Lol.

I did try the Terminal from the DVD method. I also tried SuperGetInfo and had no luck. Nothing is working. Every program or method so far has said "file does not exist" or "error" of some sort. I searched the web a bit and I think it has something to do with the special characters in the...

Hi all, I'm kind of a Mac newbie . . . I've got a problem where I have this folder with an html document in it, but I can't delete it. When I try to open the document it says the file doesn't exist; I also can't delete it when I move it to the Trash. I can't wipe out the folder either...
