Help ! I have a drawer on my hard drive that will not go away. I have tied to delete it with the workbench menue item" delete" and it will remove the icon from the window but upon reboot its back. I have tried to delete it using diskmaster 2.0 and through the cli, no help. The drawer also refuses to be opened with the system message," this drawer can not be opened". Looking in icon info it shows this drawer as rwed enabled and the drawer was made using workbench 2.1 make drawer menue command. my equipment is a stock 2000 with a gvp hardcard. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Douglas — Whenever I experience the "undeletable drawer" syndrome, it's always because there's a reference to it somewhere else — for instance, in an assign statement in S:user-startup. Check around in your boot partition for some mention of that drawer… — Ed — (In Nawth NH) [ via AP! ]
