A MAC PROBLEM. Advice needed! I don't have a Mac, but I was away from home for a few days and stayed in a friend's apartment. I used her Mac to check out a few things... This friend knows very little about computers. She complained that when she turned on her Mac this morning, it had two mysterious ailments. One was that her homepage, the NYT, was "tiny." I explained how to make it big again (and she was thrilled to discover that you can make windows different sizes.) The other is stranger. She says her trash has been changed. She says that where her trashcan used to be on her desktop is now a sort of silhouette of a trashcan that has dots on it, and nothing happens if you click on it. But that on another place on the desktop is a small version of a trashcan different from the original in that it isn't in the same place, doesn't have dots, and instead of having an open lid it has a closed one. She says that if you click on it, you see all the trash that was in the original. She wants her original trashcan back. I have no idea what to suggest. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what might have happened to change the appearance and location of her Trash, and to leave the ghostly dotted trash can over where the original used to be? I did get this reply on Computer Learning when I posted the problem there, but I'm afraid it was too complicated for this friend.... Message 18780013 I also sent recommended she try expertcity.com, but she is too phobic.
