Hi Ronni and Peter, Ronni, no need to apologise besides I so rarely post on WAMUG, although a staunch reader of the posts, that few people would know who I am!
Many thanks for the suggestions Ronni & Peter. I have held the cursor on the famous cdesc-ITunesOwner.yaml and it simply said ‘this item couldn’t be found’! I have therefore deleted it from my Login Items window as per Peter’s suggestion. It there is an application that needs it well it can either let me know or recreate it in the background! A Spotlight search had previously found nothing. Peter, that will teach me to wander around! I tend to purchase lots of software just to see how they work and who knows what I caught in the process. 99% of my purchases are done in the App Store though for safety reason and the 1% are from ‘reputable’ publishers dealing mainly with photography applications. Many thanks for the help Ronni and Peter.
