Here's a quick question. How come everytime I reboot my iMac, when it completes the reboot, I always have a folder in my trash called "Recovered Files"

Thanks,
Ray

My guess would be that, you have an application that is running when you reboot your system. The system aborts the application.

I had the same thing on my ibook. Since I upgraded to 10.4.1 I can not recreate the folder. I really don't know what was causing it in the first place. If anyone has any ideas I would like to know.

Not a problem ~ Tiger is supposed to do that,
As a for instance Safari crashes > OK restart. Crashes again > try again and Safari renames the plist file and boots as default with a new plist file. The old folder gets put in the trash.
Update to 4.1 and the old file gets put in the trash too.
