How can I 'leave out' Trashcan?
« on: July 20, 2009, 08:45:03 AM »
Hello,

I created two partitions, and under the System partition I have a directory called Programs and Games. When I formatted the partition I also created a Trashcan icon. The problem is this; I can leave out the Programs and Games directories, however I can not do the same with the Trashcan icon! Does anyone know if this is possible in some way or another? I would really like to have the Trashcan icon available from Workbench.

Regards,
Sim085

... sorry ... I thought I had mentioned it. I am using Workbench 3.1. When I try to use the leave out option the screen flashes and nothing happens (unlike a normal directory). I was wondering if maybe there is some way to make this work!

You can't leave out the trashcan.
 
Under 3.1 you can use a utility like globaltrash. http://aminet.net/package/util/wb/GlobalTrash

On a related side note, how can anyone delete the "Trashcan" directory and icon if it was created by mistake when repartitioning a hard drive?  Can the attributes of the directory and icon be changed so it can be deleted, or is there another way to get rid of it besides reformatting or repartitioning the hard drive?

I opted to use this one (BenchTrash). It is really great and does what I was looking for :)
