About
Program: Total Desktop Rebuild 1.1 Author: Alessandro Levi Montalcini Price: Freeware Source: http://persoweb.francenet.fr/~alm ftp://ftp.alpcom.it/software/mac/LMontalcini
Total Desktop Rebuild is a free system extension that allows you to completely erase all your desktop files so that they are rebuilt from scratch when the startup process is over. To delete all the desktop files on all available disks, simply hold down the Command and Option keys while Total Desktop Rebuild is loading. A small red flash is then added to the startup icon, and Total Desktop Rebuild attempts to do its job.
Warning: Total Desktop Rebuild will completely delete all your file comments. If you wish to preserve them, use Kelvin Delbarre's Commentator utility or the Finder's built-in desktop rebuild capabilities instead (by holding down Command and Option at the end of the startup process, while the Finder is loading). Commentator is available on all info-mac mirrors, and it lets you save your file comments before you rebuild the desktop and restore them later.
Yes, I know there are dozens of other utilities that do the same thing (for example, check out AutoBuild by Rene G.A. Ros if you want to automatically rebuild your desktop every once in a while). But I needed to rebuild my desktops from scratch, and I had to use an extension, and of course I couldn't find the one I used to play with. So I cooked up my own in ten minutes, and since I'm passing it to you for free you shouldn't be complaining in the first place...
New in version 1.1: - Now attempts to mount all available disks before deleting the desktop files.
