I have a MacBook Air with Mac OS X 10.6.2 installed. I also have Parallels 5.0 with Win Xp installed. My problem is that my trash wants to empty securely and I can't find an option to empty it normally. In fact, I can't find a Trash folder. When I click on the Trash, it will show me what's in it and in the right top pane it shows (empty securely) but there is no option anywhere to change it. I don't know when this might have happened. I don't believe that it was this way when I obtained the Mac about 15 mos. ago. Any ideas?? Emptying trash securely takes way too long. Thanks.
