Reset DTDBs
***********
This program will reset the Desktop Databases (DTDBs) on each mounted
volume. It is somewhat like the Desktop Reset™ extension except that it
is an application. Before running the program, however, you should eject
all floppy disks and read-only disks (like CD-ROMs), and quit all running
applications.
After running Reset DTDBs, the computer will restart.
Then the Finder will rebuild all the desktop files from scratch. The
process is then finished; the databases have been totally rebuilt.
Problems:
*********
I haven't tested this program very extensively, but I have a total of 499
(!) items inside my System Folder, and it works on my machine... :) Even
so, no warranties are provided. If you are having trouble with it, I will
take questions via email at one of my addresses at the end of this
document.
One known problem is with At Ease. At Ease will not rebuild your desktop
files at all, even if you hold Option+Command. Therefore, you need to
disable At Ease before you run Reset DTDBs. You can enable it again
afterwards.

Reset DTDBs was written in Think C™ 5.0.4. Source code should be included
in the archive along with the program.

Version History:
****************
1.0: First public release.
2.0: Changed dialog text. It proved to freak out some users, and
that's definitely not a Good Thing. Also changed it so that you don't
need to hold Option+Command when you start up. (Changed from PBDTReset to
PBDTDelete.)
