[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 346010"] This one I manually deleted and it caused me problems: I gather you did this as well? You and I should have used the [URL="http://kb.palmone.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=PalmSupportKB,ts=Palm_External2001,case=obj(5916)"][B]Palm Desktop uninstaller[/B][/URL]: I suspect it would have made things much easier to do. I tried reinstalling it to use AppZapper (or Palm's uninstyaller) but, since there was still bits left in the system, it refused to install. I searched for all files, even the invisibles, but then there was this stoopid file that refused to let itself be deleted (the one that still shows up in your Startup Items, I bet) when I emptied the trash. I restart, still the same deal. I tried [I]Secure Empty Trash[/I], still no joy. From my usual daily user account I had to create a new admin account, drag the file that wouldn't delete from the trash to the Users/Shared folder. Then I logged out of my usual account, logged in the new one I had just created, went to the Shared folder, grabbed the un-deletable file and dropped it in the trash. I then logged out of this new account, logged back in my usual account and then went to System Preferences and deleted the new account. That was the only way I could get rid of that Palm Desktop file. [/QUOTE]
