If you do a Spotlight search (command space bar) for "no.*" you will come to the alias file that you inadvertently made; delete that file itself. This is just a theory, and I don't know if it'll work or not. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burnin

Hi Marlaina, The doc is just a list of shortcuts to the names that are on it. I think what happened (because I have accidentally done it before) is you hit enter on your documents folder in the finder, which brings up an edit box to change its name; you then typed no without realizing tha
