- This is the purpose of one of my posts over on comp.sys.mac: Unchecking
- the "Warn before emptying" dialog will NOT stop the countdown dialog from
- appearing! Doesn't Apple think that if you don't want the one dialog, you
- don't want the other?
-
- The option-key when trashing does work; there are a few products, such as
- CopyDoubler and SpeedyFinder7 (I think) that will bypass both dialogs.
