- Reset DTDBs
- ***********
-
- This program will reset the Desktop Databases (DTDBs) on each mounted
- volume. It is somewhat like the Desktop Reset™ extension except that it
- is an application. Before running the program, however, you should eject
- all floppy disks and read-only disks (like CD-ROMs), and quit all running
- applications.
-
- After running Reset DTDBs, the computer will restart.
- Then the Finder will rebuild all the desktop files from scratch. The
- process is then finished; the databases have been totally rebuilt.
-
- Problems:
- *********
-
- I haven't tested this program very extensively, but I have a total of 499
- (!) items inside my System Folder, and it works on my machine... :) Even
- so, no warranties are provided. If you are having trouble with it, I will
- take questions via email at one of my addresses at the end of this
- document.
-
- One known problem is with At Ease. At Ease will not rebuild your desktop
- files at all, even if you hold Option+Command. Therefore, you need to
- disable At Ease before you run Reset DTDBs. You can enable it again
- afterwards.

- Version History:
- ****************
-
- 1.0: First public release.
-
- 2.0: Changed dialog text. It proved to freak out some users, and
- that's definitely not a Good Thing. Also changed it so that you don't
- need to hold Option+Command when you start up. (Changed from PBDTReset to
- PBDTDelete.)
