[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 815691, member: 71075"] Your trash folder is located at ~/.Trash (/Users/<username>/.Trash). Make an alias to that on your Desktop. Since the folder is hidden, execute the following two commands in the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) to make all files/folders visible: [CODE]defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES killall Finder[/CODE] After you have made your alias, execute the same two commands but replace YES with NO to hide the files/folders again.
