- I've got a Folder From Hell, and I can't find the FAQ list for this
- newsgroup.
-
- I've tried a number of simple things, like Disk First Aid, Norton
- Utilities, and trying to replace it with a folder of the same name.
- Awhile back someone posted a way to search the disk for the folder
- name followed by 0010 0000 XXXX, and replace the XXXX with 0000,
- but this was in 1990 (pre-System 7), and I'm not sure if I dare try
- this under System 7 -- any comments?
-
- I'm not all that surprised Apple hasn't fixed this problem yet, but
- I am a little surprised that Norton Disk Doctor doesn't take care
- of it.
-
- Somewhere there must be a FAQ listing the dozens of things people
- have tried to trash the Folder From Hell. Can someone please point
- me to it?
-
- Thanks.

- life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a
- wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while
- producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization."
