[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 24746, member: 3889"] I'm trying to write a secure empty trash script, but the script editor bounces every attempt. It takes only a three-line script to empty the trash without the security overwrite: tell application "finder" empty trash end tell but telling the finder to "secure empty trash" or using a bunch of variations of that command doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas? [/QUOTE]
