A friend had a strange thing happen to his SE after a system crash. The format disk icon, the icon that shows a Mac with an arrow pointing to the slot where the disk is, now shows up on the desktop when ever he inserts a disk. The funny thing is that the arrow points to the correct slot! If he puts two disks in, two Mac icons show up with the arrows pointing to the correct disk slots. Does anyone know what is going on? This would be a pretty neat hack. It was my understanding that those icons are hard coded somewhere in one of the PACK's. -- ___________________________________________________________ Matthew Mora SRI International stores@unix.sri.com ___________________________________________________________

It sounds as though the Use Physical Icon bit in the Finder's LAYO 128 resource is turned on. If this bit is set, floppy disks are displayed with an icon that points to their physical location rather than with the generic Sony driver "disk" icon. -- ====== jeanne a. e. devoto ======================================== jdevoto@apple.com | You may not distribute this article under a jdevoto@well.UUCP | compilation copyright without my permission. ___________________________________________________________________ Apple Computer and I are not authorized | CI$: 72411,165 to speak for each other. | AppleLink: SQA.TEST
