I already explained this, I see no reason for repeating myself. The MacOS creates them, they are type=icon and creator=MACS, that's all there is to it.If you read my previous posts you would also know that if these files are trashed, then the hard drive needs to be reformatted -- because the MacOS apparently *requires* these files to be *whenever it puts them* in order to access the hard drive properly. >I would rather know everything that's on a drive.You can see all the inviaible files you wish to see by using ResEdit if it's really that important to you, but just because ResEdit allows viewing of invisible files does not mean that webcatalog should do the same. It seems you do not understand why invisible files are 'invisible' in the first place, or you would not make such a claim ...================================ Kenneth Grome, WebDNA Consultant 808-737-6499, http://webdna.net ================================############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
