-> to Mike H. Have you tried to rebuild your desktop? Even better, erase it with a utility like File Buddy or Desktop Killer. It will force the Finder to build a desktop file from scratch. It might fix the problem. -> to Matthias I have a problem with Shuck. Whenever I use the lookup command Shuck crashes right away, forcing me to reboot (PowerMac 7500/100 with MacOS 7.5.5).
