- I traced back through this discussion of desktop rebuilding, but I'd
- like to know if these utilities work for file servers as well. From a
- 6.0.x machine, I can still use the old command-option, and then I'm
- prompted to rebuild the desktop for the file server. That doesn't
- seem to work when I'm on a System 7 machine. Is there a new trick to
- this w/ 7.0?
-
- Thanks for your suggestions.
