One more thing: in the example, "Example File" is an invisible file on the
root level of the hard drive.

It's worked fine for years, but now is creating problems on certain
computers.

Here is the script:
get path to startup disk
set p to result as string
set l to list folder p
set diskName to p as text
if l contains "Example File" then
set checkFile to diskName & "Desktop DT" as alias
set checkFileData to info for checkFile
set checkFileDate to creation date of checkFileData as text
if l contains "Example File" and checkFileDate is equal to "Sunday,
December 24, 1989 12:30:00 PM" then
set the clipboard to "Paste This"
else
set the clipboard to ""
end if
else
set the clipboard to ""
end if
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
