Just wondering... does anyone know of an extension/control panel that would save you having to hold down the option key when emptying the trash if it contained a locked file?

Sweet. Thanks! I'll give it a try later.

Found another one called EmptyTrashFast that sounds like it does the same thing:

Also, the download link to the control strip called Trash It! noted above has stopped working. Here is another link:

Thanks. Trash It! worked fine but I'll try this other one as well.

EmptyTrashFast is great. Works faster than Trash It! and isn't tied to the Control Strip. Thanks
