[comp.sys.mac] Lost my applications!

ziff@zip.eecs.umich.edu (Brian Moore) (05/07/90)

 Does anybody know how to fix this problem?  When I double-click on a 
document, if its application is not on the root level of my hard drive,
it tells me it can't find the application, even though the application
is buried in the hard drive somewhere.  I'm running 6.0.4 with ADSP and
the Desktop Manager and various INIT's.  I'm pretty sure it's not the INIT's
because I've taken them out and I still have the problem.  Any ideas!!!


                                                 Thanks,
                                                   Brian Moore

         Try rebuilding the desktop with Command-Option while
         booting up your system.  This usually helps with the
         housekeeping information that needs updated.
