Do you have an alias of your hard drive somewhere in your system folder, like in the Apple Menu? I think there is a preference setting or option somewhere in DropStuff that directs what it is to do when it encounters an alias, either stuff the alias or the original. If it is set to stuff the original item rather than the alias then you would get the behavior you're seeing. -- John Impellizzeri mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
