All:
I've recently installed OSX, but boot in OS9 on production G4s.
My scripts use the "Desktop Folder" often, and they haven't broken,
but the
folder itself seems to have been replaced by a generic icon that can't
be
opened.
I get errors saying files already exist in the folder, but a Sherlock
search
says they aren't there, and I can't open the folder (been replaced by
icon)
so I can't access this any longer. Sherlock finds the "Desktop
Folder", but
when I double click the Sherlock icon, the desktop itself (Finder)
activates
and that's it.
Accessing by script works, but it seems to be the *only* access I have.
What's going on here? Any ideas?

Each user's desktop is contained in a folder named "Desktop" at the top
level of the user's home directory. You can get an alias reference to
it using "path to desktop folder". I'm not absolutely sure, but I
think that will work is OS 9 as well, so you wouldn't have to maintain
two sets of code.
