[comp.sys.mac] Updating the Desktop

Howdy:

I hope I'm not number 103 to answer this.

The question was:  How do you preserve the Finder's comments when you want
	to rebuild the desktop file??

I used ResEdit to copy all the comment resources out.  I believe they are
found in the desktop file under FCMT.  Just cut them all out and save them
on a floppy and then rebuild the desktop and then paste them back in.

Recommendation:  BACKUP HARD-DRIVE BEFOREHAND!!!!  This could be potentially
	very dangerous!!!!  If you screw up the desktop you could loose it all!

It's worked fine for me for about 4 months (4 times).

good luck,
