TOPIC I'm trying to rebuild the Desktop, by holding down Command-Option as the Finder opens, but the keys seem to be ignored. DISCUSSION This can happen if Multiple Users is enabled and a limited Finder account is being used instead of a owner Finder account. The simple way to recognize that Multiple Users is enabled is that either a login screen is present, or for a logged in user that the Special menu has a Logout command as the last choice. Note that only the computer's owner user can disable Multiple Users. To rebuild the desktop under Multiple Users you must log in as a normal Finder account (it does not have to be the owner), and then hold down the Command-Option after entering the password, either by voice or by typing. You will then receive the usual message "Are you sure you want to rebuild the desktop file on the disk 'Macintosh HD'?" |
