[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1243359, member: 71075"] Not quite. OS X is a Unix based operating system and in Unix, files can be executable. This has to do with the permissions on a file. A user can have any combination of the following three privileges - read, write and execute. You can set certain files to have executable permissions for certain users. So, OS X recognizes them when it says that and it is in essence telling you that it is an executable file. Just a tip. ;) wick98, [URL="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8982.html"]this[/URL] article should explain what that folder is and why it's in the Trash. [/QUOTE]
