...and sure enough, this *is* what I want. And, Chris? Presumably "flnt" is OS language-independent?
'path to "flnt"' returns 'alias "Macintosh HD:Cleanup At Startup" on my
system (OS 9.2.1 AS 1.6) but I can't seem to do anything with it. When
I run this script:
set tmpPath to path to "flnt" as text
set strtPath to (choose folder) as text
tell application "Finder"
move items of folder strtPath to folder tmpPath
end tell
I get the error message: "Finder got an error: because *0x//*the
original item cannot be found". I tried setting the visible to true
before the move. "set visibility" got the same error. Everything I've
tried to do with 'alias "Macintosh HD:Cleanup At Startup" results in
that error or I get a stack overflow. Is there a way for AppleScript to
access this folder?
