[QUOTE="wicker_man, post: 677443, member: 16283"] It was an upgrade, but I used disk utility to completely erase my Tiger installation before installing Leopard. I do remember that my MBP froze whilst shutting down when at the Apple store before installing the firmware update, so the Genius had to force a shut down by holding the power button. Upon booting, I didn't notice whether the file was there or not. I have just tried ejecting my Windows XP partition and the file seems to have disappeared! I also have my XP partition as FAT32 and access it via Bootcamp and Parallels (although I haven't used XP for a while on either method, and never seen the file in trash before when using XP). How would I select the directory? Typing it into terminal on its own shows files in my user folder. [/QUOTE]
