I'm trying to select every item of one disk's desktop. I have a specific
reason why I'm trying to delete items from that hidden folder on a
particular disk.
I've attempted to "select every item of the desktop of disk x" and that
hasn't done what I wanted. I've tried looping through every item of the
desktop, trying to see if an item's parent is the desktop folder, but my
script doesn't seem to work. I don't have my code snippets on me or I'd post
them for interpretation/critique here.
I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I might go about this ... TIA!
BTW, the ultimate goal is that I want to delete items from a specific disk's
desktop, keeping those items on other disk(s)' desktop(s), so I can clean up
a disk for disk imaging with Apple Software Restore.
