Hi Everyone,
I need some help! I'm trying to write an AppleScript for OS 9.2.2 with
Apple's Script Editor 1.7.
Here is what I want to do:
I want the script to go in the "Launcher Items folder" and delete everything
in there except for these alias's (Dreamweaver 4, Illustra8.0.1,
Illustr9.0.2, ImageReady 3.0.1, MS Exel, MS PowerPoint, MS Word, PageMaker
6.5, Photoshop 6, QuarkXPress 4.11, Suitcase 9)
How can I accomplish this?? I'm a fairly new to this also so please be
gentle!!
I originally had the script delete everything and just remake the Alias's
and then rename them new alias's but it won't work with our security which
is FoolProof. FoolProof will let it delete and make the new alias's but it
won't let the scripts rename the new Alias's once they are made. So I
thought of making a script that will delete everything in the Launcher Items
folder except for what I want in there.
Make sense?
Thanks for the help!
