[QUOTE="tarheel, post: 1576794, member: 58513"] I just switched from a MBP to a new iMac. On my MBP when I clicked the icon to empty the trash the confirmation window that came up indicated I was "Securely Emptying The Trash", as opposed to the window on my new iMac that simple confirms that you want to empty the trash - the difference being if you securely empty the trash it makes recovery of the stuff you dumped a lot harder or maybe even impossible. I speak with very little authority on this issue - so, how do you turn on the "Securely Empty The Trash" function? THX [/QUOTE]
