A short while ago (~2 days) I posted an article in which I described a problem I am experiencing concerning the icons of my inits. Basically, the icons are there during startup, but once the desktop has appeared, SOME of the icons are replaced by the generic, blank-page icon (the others, like GateKeeper, syill look fine when I open my system folder). Some people e-mailed responses about rebuilding the desktop--didn't work. Others told me to "reset the bundle bits, then rebuild the desktop." OK, but my question is" How do you reset the bundle bits? I have used ResEdit VERY little, and have not used any othr disk tools. Can someone describe the procedure to me SIMPLY, or refer me to a good source? Thanks! Jay Boisseau jay@emx.utexas.edu

This tells the finder that it already looked at the Icon I think. In Resedit Select the file. Do a "Get info" from the file menu. A Dialog box will come up with a series of Check boxes. Make sure that the "Bundle" box is checked and the "Inited" is unchecked. Close the window and save the changes. >Jay Boisseau >jay@emx.utexas.edu -- ___________________________________________________________ Matthew Mora SRI International mxmora@unix.sri.com ___________________________________________________________

Just do a (ResEdit) get info on the file. the bits are there. However, it is easier if you can track down a copy of "Bundaid". I think that it may solve your problem. -- Jeff Wiseman: ....uunet!tellab5!wiseman OR wiseman@TELLABS.COM

I tried BundAid the other day, and it reset the bundle bit on Backgrounder. Has anyone noticed any other problem with Bundaid, or is this not a problem. Dan Dlugose UNC Educational Computing Service
