Mac Forum / Applications / Word / September 2007Trash Icon
On a Mac PB G4 running OS X 10.4.10, like to modify the Finder so the TRASH ICON can be located in the Finder Toolbar. Thanks in advance, Rich This has nothing to do with Microsoft products in general or Mac:Office in particular. You'd be better off asking in the Apple Discussions since you're query involves modifying the OS X GUI. Perhaps it can be done programatically, but I tend to doubt it. You might try just dragging the Trash icon to the Sidebar, but I don't know if that will work or not - am not near a Mac to test.

My thought is that if you need something more accessible than the Trash icon on the dock you might as well forget icon placement altogether and use the keyboard shortcut Command-Delete to move things into Trash and Command-Shift-Delete to empty Trash.

In fact, I suspect the question came up, and on this group, because in an earlier post I said "I put the trash icon on the Finder toolbar." While we're going in circles here, might as well add another one. :) I customize the Finder Toolbar a LOT.

Indeed not. Just adding more grist to the mill, John... ;-) Clive ===== Hey Clive - Good to see you back in the mainstream! Hope you ahd a good trip.

Since I was blessed with right-click capability I've never had reason to explore other options. That plus the keystroke are the only choices I need:-) Just from my personal perspective the toolbar addition is more inconvenient than either of the other two ways - I don't even see any advantage (for me) to have the Trash Can in the Sidebar if it could be.

Couldn't agree more! Clive ===== > On a Mac PB G4 running OS X 10.4.10, like to modify the Finder so the > TRASH ICON can be located in the Finder Toolbar. Thanks in advance, Don't know about the Trash icon, but you can CTRL-click any Finder title bar, choose Customize Toolbar, and drag the Delete tool to the bar. |
