I apologize to readers if this is not an AppleScript issue--but I think
that it is:


I have now Tiger (OSX 10.4.3) installed single partition with OS 9.2.1.

The Folder Actions I've attached to folders prior to this installation
do not work now (a situation that I kind of understand).
Yet I can not remove the actions from the concerned folders--not by
contextual menu, nor by Folder Actions Setup application; whether
Classic is running or not.

If anyone can offer an explanation that would help me to get rid of
these dysfunctional Folder Attachments, (now manifest as meaningless
folder-and-script-symbol icons), I would be grateful.

Do you simply mean that the folders in question have the folder-and- scroll-badge icon even in Mac OS X? Try clearing the custom icon. To do that the normal (GUI) way, Get Info on the folder, select the icon in the Get Info window, and press the Delete key. If you have a lot of them, it may be possible to get rid of them by deleting the special "Icon\r" file, but I don't know for sure that that will work.
