Please can any one suggest me how to do this . 1) This has nothing to do with Cocoa. 2) Symlinking at every boot between two fixed paths seems really unusual (unless ~/Desktop is getting wiped every time for some reason). It should also be noted that ~ doesn't mean a whole lot at boot time since it is determined by the logged-in user. My first guess is that you are using autologin to a guest account of some sort that does not persist files, in which case there are likely better ways to accomplish whatever result is intended from your question. 3) If you are interested in the general topic of automated execution, Google "login items" (for an easy user-configurable method) or "launchd" (OS X's full-featured Swiss army knife of automated execution, roughly a replacement for the System V init/cron scripts and more). - -- Conrad Shultz Synthetiq Solutions www.synthetiqsolutions.com<http://www.synthetiqsolutions.com> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk6MEeYACgkQaOlrz5+0JdWRkgCdFYLARGwbGAHkf3hWhWLcpxAg 1igAn1ULFrirdhH8lfb8hpnwo2bKTvlQ =bfv3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________ The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be subject to copyright or other intellectual property protection.
