On the same window there is a button for clear recent addresses and that seems to have done the job permanently. Last night I downloaded a free Entourage update from MS and so it is now Version 10.1.6 Now with the new version, attachments don't automatically open unless the email is double clicked, unlike before when I just single clicked. I guess this is to prevent spam being inadvertently opened when trashing. Thanks again, Paul. -- Dr Paul Weaver http://www.livejournal.com/users/fremantlebiz/calendar

There may be a way top control that ! With Entourage active Try the Entourage Help option under help . and type in just the word Attachments to search for all possibilities !

legacy problems clogging up
I've 2 problems 1) when I tried to delete my System Folder from my old mac (what I transferred when I loaded my imac stuff onto the powerbook about a year ago ) I get a message saying can't delete because required by system. What? How? What on earth is being used and how can I find out, and move it somewhere useful and delete the rest? 3) I did a re-install of Tiger to fix my ipod problem (I know, weird but that's what Apple suggests) Apart from having to re-load some software (Photoshop etc) and reactivate some others (Dreamweaver etc) now my only machelper seems to be in my previous sytems folder. My powerbook seems to be full up with old bits that seem to be needed. How can I get rid of this old stuff without wrecking anything? Rosemary Horton [EMAIL PROTECTED]
large screens for Macintosh
Hi All, Can anyone advise on the feasibility of using large flat screen TV type monitors for Macs? Obviously the more screen real estate the better, but, does it distort, whats the resolution like etc. Any help appreciated. Regards Colin Gordon
Apple ads on tv!
Hi All! Not sure if anyone picked this up, but during either the cricket or something else tonight I saw the Intel/Mac ad! That would have to be the first non-iPod ad I have seen from Apple on tv in Perth ever! Seeya Rod!

Re: legacy problems clogging up
You haven't included a great deal of information here, but it sounds like a permissions problem. I take it that you are trying to delete the OLD system folder from your NEW Mac after copying the complete contents of your old iMac hard disk onto the new PowerBook (rather than just your documents and files), and that your PowerBook has its own functioning OS X 10.4 System folder and your user account. IF that is correct, try this: 1 activate the root account with a new password in NetInfo Manager - Security menu using your current admin user to authenticate 2 log out and log back in as root using your new password 3 delete the OLD system folder and empty the Trash 4 log back in with your user account 5 disable the root account in NetInfo Manager to re-secure your computer ALTERNATIVELY Open Terminal. type sudo rm -r (that is the word sudo, space, lower case r, lower case m, space, hyphen, lower case r, space) drag the icon of the persistent old system folder to the end of that line where Terminal will helpfully convert the dragged icon into a UNIX path, then press return. You will be prompted for your password with a warning that you are using a dangerous power tool, and the old system folder (or anything you have dragged there by mistake will be vaporised into a puff of electronic smoke, never to be seen again.
