- I have been having an unusual problem. I have System 7.0.1 and a Macintosh
- Classic with 4/40. Whenever I place a DA on my System Folder the usual
- message comes up saying that the item will be moved to the Apple Menu Items
- folder. But when I try to use the DA that I have just put in, the computer
- says that the DA doesn't exist. When I go to the Apple Menu Items folder, the
- DA is gone. I have also tried restarting the machine before trying the DA, but
- it still disappeared. Even when I manually put it in the Apple Menu Items
- folder, it disappeared after shutting off the machine and starting it up again.
- Finally, I put the actual DA in a separate folder, locked it, aliased it, put
- the alias in the Apple Menu Items folder, and locked it. This seems to work.
- Does anyone know why I should have this much trouble trying to get a DA on my
- system?
