- Have you ever tried holding option and command keys down when
- rebooting ???? During the startup the Mac asks if you want to
- rebuild the desktop. I don't think it takes too long. I just
- timed it. Rebuild took excactly 3 minutes 14 seconds. I have a
- 422 MB hard disk and I think on a 75 MB HD it must take much
- shorter time.
