Last I checked (since before Office 2004), you can make the MUD invisible and still have Entourage find it (as long as it isn't renamed). You can accomplish this in a number of ways. One could set the invisibility of files/folders via AppleScript at one time, but I can't seem to find the right syntax in Tiger (Did they remove this ability from AppleScript?). If you have the Developer Tools installed, you can use SetFile: /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a V ~/Documents/Microsoft\ User\ Data Then logout and back in. I just briefly tested it and it seems to work fine. If you still want the Microsoft User Data folder to be accessible, move it to ~/Library or wherever, replace it with an alias and make the alias invisible. -Remo Del Bello -- "Advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise, and all courses may run ill." - Gildor Inglorion in "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
