[QUOTE="DianeVan, post: 1776310, member: 318944"] "What exactly are you trying to accomplish by renaming the trash?" Yes that would be my question. As a former MAC newbie, I have found that there are always better or even not necessary things to do in MACs compared to PCs. Don't tinker too much before you understand MAC world. Often one action (which would have been normal in a PC) just causes further troubles down the line in MACs because it's not open and clear exactly all the repercussions of such actions. Trust me - don't tinker unnecessarily! If you want a copy of your current trash rather than putting the files back to where they were, just copy them, make a new folder called oldtrashDate and paste them there. If you are trying to accomplish something else, do let the board know in detail. [/QUOTE]
